Chelford CE Primary School is a small, rural school located in the heart of our thriving village. Set in the beautiful Cheshire countryside, the School benefits from a modern, spacious and light accommodation built in 1999. In 2018, an additional classroom was added to accommodate the growing village population following significant housing development.
At Chelford CE Primary School, we are passionate about making learning fun for our pupils. Our belief is quite simple: happy children learn best!
Part of this belief is our commitment to developing the whole child - personally, socially and academically - in order for them to develop characteristics, traits, skills and knowledge to excel both during and beyond their time at Chelford.
This commitment is underlined in our curricular offering, which provides a range of wonderful opportunities and experiences across the whole curriculum.
