About Chandlings Prep
We believe every child carries a sparkle of possibility – a spark that, when nurtured, can grow into something extraordinary. Each day is a step further on a magical journey that will not only prepare pupils for the future but will also empower them to create it.
Chandlings exists to harness this sparkle, to guide children to truly discover who they are, and to help them grow the skills and character to fulfil their wildest dreams. And, the best bit of all, we ensure they have lots of fun whilst getting there.
If you haven’t yet visited us, I urge you to do so. I have always believed that choosing a school is like buying a house; as soon as you cross the threshold, you instantly know if it is right. It is an unexplainable feeling, but I certainly felt it when I first came to Chandlings and it still remains every day I come up the drive. There is a joy that resonates through every inch of our idyllic site and through the inspirational staff who work here. So please do get in touch and come and see our magical corner of the Oxfordshire countryside for yourself – maybe you might feel the magic too.
