Chilton Cantelo School offers a civilised, 'family' environment in which pupils are encouraged to grow into the best versions of themselves. Set in and around an imposing 18th Century manor house and thirty acres of grounds, four and a half miles from both Sherborne and Yeovil. Chilton offers a genuine all-round education designed to develop each pupil's potential. Classes are small, results at GCSE are exceptional. 97% of candidates achieved between 6 and 13 A* - C grades last year.

The School Day runs from 8.30am until 5.30pm and Saturday until 1.00pm.

The Preparatory Department is housed in the newly renovated Carriage House, with boarding facilities in the nearby former stable block, "Woodlands". An integral part of the Senior (Middle and Upper) School, it has its own dedicated staff and facilities and derives further benefit from sharing additional specialist staff and resources with the Senior School, to which pupils transfer at the age of 11.

In the Senior School the broad academic curriculum is complemented by making full use of extramural activities, with pupils enjoying 'enrichment' activities every day. Activities typically include archery, computing, dance, fencing, golf, horse riding, karate, kickboxing, outdoor education, swimming, a variety of music and drama, woodcraft and a full range of team games.

At weekend, boarding pupils can choose from a range of activities and outings.

Prep is generally completed during the School day and Day Scholars have the option to board on an occasional (or regular night) basis. They may also join our standing Corps of Drums.

The main strength of the School, in addition to small teaching groups, impressive academic results and an extremely broad curriculum, is our experience and success at affording each pupil a great deal of individual attention.

A prospectus may be obtained from the School and prospective parents are encouraged to visit the School. Please telephone the Admissions Secretary to arrange an appointment. (+44 (0) 1935 850555)
