Opened in 2019 by Olympic swimmer Mark Foster, our indoor 25m, 4-lane swimming pool provides the perfect environment for pupils to develop their skills in the water.
From Reception to Year 6, children enjoy weekly lessons, while our Swim Squad benefit from extra training sessions, preparing for the many galas hosted in this state-of-the-art facility.
Our 800m² sports hall provides ample space for pupils to move, play, and develop their skills. Every child enjoys weekly or bi-weekly PE lessons here when the weather keeps us indoors, and the hall also hosts our much-loved whole-school events, including Founders Day and Speech Day.
Our library, home to over 7,000 books, is a cherished space for every pupil. Pre-Prep and Junior School visit weekly, while Senior School pupils use it for classwork, research, and independent study. It’s also a popular spot for reading during breaks, lunchtimes, and Homework Club.
Recently refurbished, our Nursery provides a bright, nurturing, and stimulating environment to inspire young learners. Children enjoy plenty of opportunities to learn through play, with a wide range of educational toys and imaginative role-play areas. It also has its own dedicated bathroom facilities.
Outside, the playground encourages adventure and creativity—whether zooming around in ride-on cars, cooking in the outdoor kitchen, or exploring sound and rhythm with musical play.
The Nursery is also home to our much-loved guinea pigs, Toffee and Humbug, who add an extra touch of joy each day.
Our purpose-built Music Block provides dedicated space for class music and instrumental tuition in acoustically designed, soundproof rooms. A separate area features MIDI keyboards and SoundTrap for digital composition, while individual practice rooms downstairs support 1:1 peripatetic lessons. The Music Room also houses a Yamaha grand piano, used for performances, Soirées, and as part of our role as an official ABRSM examination centre.
Named after our Founders, the hall hosts all school productions, including annual Nativities and shows such as Oliver! and The Lion King. Weekly assemblies are held here, and the movable tiered seating allows the space to transform for themed days, our cherished Christmas Fair, and parents’ Quiz Night for example.
Our bright, inviting classrooms foster imaginative learning for up to 20 children per class. They are used for traditional lessons and core learning when pupils are not using the school’s specialist areas.
Our vibrant outdoor classroom, set against the rolling Chilterns countryside, empowers pupils to build confidence through adventurous, nature-based activities. Here, children are encouraged to explore and try new things through hands-on, sensory experiences—whether den-building, experimenting in the mud kitchen, or simply discovering the world around them.
At Forest School, we nurture a deep respect for nature by immersing pupils in the outdoors, helping them understand and appreciate the elements in a meaningful, memorable way.
Our school offers ample parking with a separate entry and exit, plus a convenient ‘Kiss and Drop’ area for easy, safe drop-offs each morning.
Spread across 7 acres, Chesham Prep offers extensive outdoor space for pupils to explore, play, and stay active. Our facilities include two large fields, an all-weather Astro pitch, and both Astro and grass wickets, allowing us to host and practice sporting fixtures on site. We champion time outdoors, celebrating the benefits of fresh air, movement, and active play for every child’s wellbeing.
