Our School

Cheriton Primary School is a 'school which lies at the heart of its community' (Ofsted 2011).  We have grown in number recently and now have four hundred children on roll. Our children live in the surrounding area of the school and we strive to both involve our community in the life of the school and to reflect the cultural diversity of our local area.

We are very proud of our links with the Army, the local Nepalese community as well as the local Baptist and Anglican churches.

We are a school that puts children and their families at the heart of everything we do and will make every effort to meet the needs of all children.

The school became a "Co-Operative School" in June 2013 when a trust was formed to formaly link Cheriton with Hawkinge Primary School and The Churchill School.  The "Vicus Trust" will allow each school to retain their own governing body and identity whilst formalising the very strong and productive school improvement partnership that has existed since 2009.
