Welcome From The Headmaster

Welcome to you all, past, current and future pupils and parents; we hope you enjoy an informative visit to our web site.

Chinthurst School is an independent Boys' Prep school, based in Tadworth, Surrey, with a friendly 'family' ethos.  Our aim is to provide an all-round education within a happy, purposeful and active school life.  At Chinthurst we aim to help, encourage and stimulate all our boys, both in the classroom and outside. Our extra-curricular programme is extensive and varied in our quest to give all boys success in different areas, as well as an appreciation of, and consideration for, others' abilities.

Having celebrated the school's centenary last year, we commence the next century in the school's history with heightened anticipation.  We intend to continue to combine the provision of traditional values with the incorporation of new developments of good educational practice. I hope that your visit to our website will give you a flavour of our unique school and that it will encourage you to visit us in person so that you too can enjoy the 'Chinthurst' experience. I look forward to meeting you, and your son, in the near future.
