Welcome to Chenies Primary School, an ambitious, friendly school in the heart of the village community. I am so proud to be head of this unique school set in beautiful surroundings, an environment where pupils can achieve and flourish.
We are very proud of our school, its history and the village location with its beautiful countryside surrounding and believe our size allows us to foster a caring and engaging school, where each child is known and valued individually and is positively encouraged to harness a passion for learning.
Please take a look through our website to get a flavour of our school and please feel free to contact us for further information. "All the year groups get to play together at break and lunchtimes which is really nice and different from the other school's I've been to." Y6 "I just wanted to pass on my thanks to the staff who organise the trips and visitors to school.
I know how much work they are and I am so pleased that Chenies, although small, offers so many enrichment experiences for the children." YR Parent "I love learning all about the plants around our school." Y4
