Cheam offers a complete education. Pastoral care and excellence are at the heart of school life, delivered with passion and dedication by our outstanding staff team. Joy, fun and a good dose of mud are also seen as essential. We nurture and support every pupil, encouraging the development of leadership, compassion and responsibility along with an awareness of sustainability. Our child-centred approach ensures well-being, happiness and success for every child. With a careful reflection on our historical past, our cultural values, our legacy and our wish to provide the highest standards and the very best education, we enrich our pupils with clear values that are fit for the 21st century. Situated on the Hampshire and Berkshire border Cheam has outstanding grounds and facilities which enhance our progressive and complete education.
Cheam was founded in 1645 and while we are proud of our heritage and traditions, we are a progressive and forwarding thinking community. Our Character Education programme sets us apart from many other prep schools. We put character development centre-stage and see it as the key to unlocking our children’s full range of potential. With confidence in their character children can succeed at anything they put their minds to.
