The schools currently have four classes which, in total, at present accommodate 105 pupils.

Chislet Church of England Primary School is a friendly supportive school dedicated to providing a high standard of education for all pupils and fortunate to have caring and supporting parents and Governors as highlighted in our OFSTED report (November 2022).

We have the use of two Federation minibuses and encourage teachers to arrange class visits in order to widen the children's learning experiences. All the children have the opportunity to attend Forest School each year and in some cases Beach School.

All of these things and more are encapsulated by our Schools Christian Ethos,
'A journey of learning for all, within God's guiding hands'
