Ethos
At Chobham Academy, we seek to promote a stimulating and caring learning environment, where children are encouraged to reach their full potential.
This is achieved through a broad and balanced curriculum, which has at its heart personal interests and learning styles of each individual child in our care. Through the curriculum, we aim to raise the children's awareness of the world around them and to show concern for its people, their ways of thinking and living and for its resources. This solid foundation will be built upon to prepare children for the experiences and responsibilities they will encounter throughout their lives.
Chobham values the partnership of home, school and the community. It is through this partnership that the best interests of the children will be served. Our children will, therefore, see their school as part of a wider community in which they are valued members.
