A smart co-ed Prep for ages 3-13, Cheam School is a bucolic beauty set on the Berkshire and Hampshire border, offering day and a modern mix of flexi and weekly boarding. It’s a buzzy, energetic school with 400 pupils in total. Sitting in roughly 100 acres of pristine grounds (props to the grounds staff, who clearly work their socks off), the school...
I’ve seen my fair share of spruced up boarding rooms in my time, but nothing quite prepared me for Cheam’s. A local artist has painted murals in the rooms and they’re awesome. You’ll find big cats roaming the halls, rooms that are out of this world, James Bond makes an appearance… I won’t spoil the surprise. Take a look, they’re awesome. Fun for th...
The killer combo of being non-selective yet academically strong. The vibe is more prospering than pushy. Catnip for parents wishing to escape the London academic hot houses. There’s a dedicated scholarship class for the brightest buttons, and one of the best learning-support departments I have seen. Deputy Head of Pastoral Kate Hudson scoops up chi...
Are two heads better than one? We’re about to find out. From September 2024, Cheam will have co-heads. After a few years flying solo, the charismatic Will Phelps will be joined by Sophie Green – the first female head in Cheam’s 379-year history. They’re also married, having tied the knot in December 2023. Together they have a wealth of experience a...
This is a buzzy, busy and ambitious school, so it’s great to see pupil mental health prioritised. Cheam’s culture of kindness now extends to a new wellbeing hub, The Nest – a dedicated space to relax, unwind and connect with others. It’s an oasis of is a calm, tucked away from the main school courtyard. A great opportunity to decompress when you’re...
I don’t think it gets more quirky than being given special permission to perform Andrew Lloyd Webber’s latest musicalSchool of Rock, before it premiered in London’s West End. Lucky for them, Lord Lloyd Webber is a neighbour. The kids then bagged opening night seats for the pro show. Impressive, eh? The gleam at Cheam is real. It is super-slick and ...
Glowing reviews! Frazzled parents constantly juggling work and children, will appreciate the after school clubs available to Pre-Prep kids. You can drop off from 8.10am and lessons end at 3.30pm – after-school clubs run until 4.30pm (5.55pm for Y3s). In Prep, if your kids aren’t boarding, it’s 8.10am – 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
Nursery sessions are morning and afternoon and you can choose how many days your nippers attend. However, 5 full days per term is £4,575 per term (£3,650 after EY funding). Reception-Y2 Day: £4,575; Y3 £7,395. Senior Y4-Y5 day fees £8,595 to £11,125 weekly boarding and Y6-Y8 £8,985 day only to £11,515 weekly boarding. There are lots of boarding opt...
It has had a bit of a rep for being a bit punchy – a pressure cooker environment, egged on by parents. But that kind of behaviour is being dialled down. A couple of the mums I spoke to gave it an A* for its ambition for the kids and opportunities, but also the emphasis on wellbeing. The social scene is pretty hot. There’s plenty of extra curricular...
It’s a nurturing environment where the wellbeing and mental health of these youngsters are as important as the academic rigour. And the inspectors love it too. The latest ISI reportstruggled to find fault, pretty much saying the Cheam is excellent and outstanding across the board.
