We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our wonderful school.
At the whole school Open Mornings there will be tours of the school and the opportunity to speak to our class teachers and specialist teachers as you go round. At the end of the tour you will meet me and members of the Senior Management Team and the Registrar, Sue Johnson, will also be available to answer any admissions questions.
The Open Mornings will run from 9.00am to 11.00am.
Before the Open Day please click on any of the video links below that interest you. We explain our ethos and the pastoral care we provide and there are overviews of all three parts of the school from the relevant heads of department: Early Years & Foundation; Junior School; and Senior School. You can also view videos about Admissions; Games & PE; and our amazing Forest School. Lastly, and best of all, do take the opportunity to ‘meet’ some of our pupils who will tell you all about what makes Chesham Prep such a special place to grow and learn.
Please complete the registration form at the bottom of the page and we will be in touch to book your slot.
We also have a Stay and Play session on Friday 17th May for children age 2 1/2 – 4 years old which you can register for here.
If you have any questions or would like to enquire about a place for your child, please contact the Registrar, Sue Johnson, on 01494 782619 or email registrar@cheshamprep.co.uk.

Our 4 lane 25 metre swimming pool was opened in September 2019 by Mark Foster. Children in years 2 – 8 swim throughout the school year as part of the curriculum. Year 1 swim in the Autumn and Spring terms and Reception start to swim in their Summer term. The children are placed in small ability groups and coached by qualified instructors.
Specialist Computing lessons start in Reception with pupils receiving one lesson a week in their own Classroom using iPads. From Year 1, children use the Computing suite for their weekly lesson. From Year 3, pupils have Computing twice a week and move on to using Desktop Computers for their learning and are gradually introduced to a wide array of hardware including several different types: programming hardware; digital cameras; microphones and MIDI keyboards for making music. Across the school ICT resources are used in a cross-curricular approach. There are banks of Laptops and iPads that are regularly used in other lessons and many teachers make use of Google Classroom to set work and homework. Pupils in Year 7 and 8 have a Chromebook to use as part of their lessons across the curriculum.
We have 2 equipped science labs with Bunsen burners and interactive whiteboards where the emphasis is on experimental and investigative work. From Year 4 onwards children are in the science lab with specialist science teachers for 2-3hrs each week. Years 7 and 8 are taught the three sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) separately in double lessons.
