May I take this opportunity to welcome you to Christleton Primary School website. Parents want the best possible start in life for their children. Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.
All parents will understandably look for a school with the right mixture of high educational standards and an environment where their child can be happy, thrive and succeed. We believe that Christleton Primary School is such a school. Set in the heart of the village of Christleton, just outside the historic city of Chester, we are a successful and inclusive school.
Our motto is Be the Best You can Be and we aim to provide a warm and caring environment where everyone has the opportunity to shine and fulfill their potential.
