Chilton Cantelo School
Chilton Cantelo is a day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 4-18, with a strong ethos based on a dynamic mix of relaxed unpretentiousness and academic discipline set in an imposing 18th Century manor house in 25 acres of beautiful West Country parkland, just 5 miles from Sherborne and Yeovil. The fun of childhood exploration is shared throughout a warm school community where every child is encouraged to try everything and do their best.
About Chilton Cantelo School
Classes are small and school life centres on a broad curriculum including three modern languages, starting with French in Year 3, complimented with Spanish and Latin in Year 8 and German in Year 9. Pupils enjoy Business Studies and ICT and Food Technology is a popular addition to the timetable. Beautiful artwork is on display throughout the School and the drama productions are a must see.
