Why families choose us

"As a parent, I couldn’t be more grateful for the nurturing environment at Chillingham Public School. The teachers are warm, welcoming, professional and genuinely care about the students.

One of the standout features of the school is its small class sizes. This allows for truly individualised academic attention, where teachers tailor their approach to suit each child’s learning style and needs. My two daughters have flourished not only academically but also socially and emotionally.

We’ve also been impressed by the opportunities for extension and enrichment. Whether it’s through creative projects, advanced learning tasks, or extracurricular activities, Chillingham Public School encourages students to explore their potential and develop a love for learning.

Chillingham is a school where every child is known by name and supported wholeheartedly. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this wonderful community, it’s a lovely little school with a big heart!”
