Welcome to Chertsey School
 
Small School. Big Dreams.
 
Chertsey School is a small rural primary school with a big heart, high expectations and big opportunities for every learner.
 
At Chertsey, every child is known, valued and encouraged to thrive. Our size allows us to build strong relationships with our tamariki and whānau, while providing personalised learning and additional intervention and support when children need it.
 
Our children enjoy opportunities that extend well beyond the classroom. From exploring and creating in our STEM room, riding our bike skills track and making the most of our multi-purpose sports court, to performing kapa haka with pride and passion, swimming lessons in our school pool, sporting opportunities and exciting camps and trips — we believe our children deserve rich experiences that help them discover their strengths, passions and interests.
 
Our beautiful school grounds are cared for with pride by our staff and provide plenty of space for children to learn, play, explore and simply enjoy being kids.
 
We also believe children learn best when their basic needs are met. Every child at Chertsey is provided with breakfast, morning tea and lunch each school day, ensuring all our tamariki are nourished and ready to learn.
 
Most importantly, we are an inclusive school where every child belongs. We celebrate individual strengths, encourage our learners to dream big and support them to become confident, capable and caring young people.
 
Together, we grow, learn and celebrate as Chertsey Champs.
