This year we are sad that we are unable to host our usual tours of the school for prospective parents. So instead, two of our very talented staff have filmed a normal school day for you all to see what the children get up to after their Mums and Dads have gone home!
If after viewing the film prospective parents have any questions please do email - headteacher@cheriton.kent.sch.uk and a senior member will arrange a telephone appointment to the needs of your child with you.The opening paragraph of the report captures all that we strive for here at Cheriton and are delighted that OFSTED recognises this.

The National Curriculum states that pupils should develop a chronologically secure knowledge and understanding of British, local and world history. Teaching should equip them to ask perceptive questions, think critically, weigh evidence, sift arguments and develop perspective and judgements.
All pupils should make connections, draw contrasts, analyse trends, frame historically valid questions and create their own accounts, including written methods and analyses.History is taught as part of our long term topic curriculum plan.

We have grown in number recently and now have over four hundred children on roll. Our children live in the surrounding area of the school and we strive to both involve our community in the life of the school and to reflect the cultural diversity of our local area. We are very proud of our links with the Army, the local Baptist and Anglican churches, as well as the local Nepalese community.
Starting school for the first time or changing school is an exciting, but sometimes daunting experience for a child. We do our best to make this transition as easy as possible for both children and parents. Each year at Cheriton we admit up to 60 children from our local area, however as a response to a request from the local authority we have for two years admitted 90 children, so presently Year 5 and 6 have three classes.
The schools wished to build upon the work they had started over time and felt the values of the co operative movement very aligned to their own. Support our combined communities to understand the complex pathways through education and training. In Ancient Rome, the "Vicus" was a neighbourhood, and was also an administrative area of a town.
Our School Council is made up of a group of children who are elected by their peers classmates. We have an election day early in the Autumn Term and every child in Key Stage 2 has a vote. Before voting day the children will have completed manifestos and shared their ideas with the other children in their class.

Had some of the best years of my life there, as well as I met my best friend there. Cheriton Primary in all regards is not the best place on Earth. However it will always be a fond memory of mine and a key aspects of my childhood, so in a whole it's an amazing school. I would recommend this school to anyone.
