It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the Cheriton Primary School website. We hope that this site will provide you with a flavour of life in our school as well as being a source of helpful information. The village of Cheriton is known as the source of the River Itchen which then flows across Hampshire, via the city of Winchester and onwards, through Southampton, to the sea.
At Cheriton Primary School we seek to be the source of learning opportunities which will help to set our children on a course for a fulfilling and rewarding future and to be the best that they can be .
We provide an environment and culture, based on kindness and respect, where children feel safe and valued; where they can take risks, develop a positive mind-set and where they grow in self-confidence.
