My welcome

My name is Nicola Clear, Head of The Chantry School and it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to The Chantry School website.

Choosing the right school for a young person is an important decision. At The Chantry School, we provide a secure, caring and inclusive environment where pupils feel a strong sense of belonging and are inspired to thrive. Excellent teaching, high expectations and a culture of mutual respect ensure that every child makes excellent progress and enjoys memorable learning experiences.

We are a strong, friendly and caring community where warm relationships, kindness and respect are at the heart of everything we do. Pupils are encouraged to aim high, embrace challenge and develop the resilience and confidence to achieve their full potential. Our purpose is to nurture kind, confident and successful young people who contribute positively to school life and the wider community.

We do this by:

  • Fostering inclusivity, acceptance and compassion for all.

GCSE Results Day 2026: Press Release 

Pupils from The Chantry School celebrate another strong year of GCSE results. 167 pupils took GCSEs this summer, and we are incredibly proud of their achievements.  

We are proud to share with you some excellent headline figures: 70% of pupils achieved 5 GCES including English and maths at Grade 4 and above.
