Chudleigh House School Primary school

The aim is to ensure young primary students find their school a place they enjoy where their best achievements are celebrated. At Chudleigh House Primary School they are appreciated, challenged and rewarded. The primary level of education places emphasis on the acquisition of basic numeracy and literacy skills. Teaching methods slowly become more formal and children experience a noticeable division in classroom timetables. This requires the development self-discipline and organisational skills. The atmosphere is friendly, quiet and stimulating and nurturing qualities are very evident in the school. Pupils are lovingly challenged and allowed to exert their individual characters.
