Our Primary School is a place of wonder and joy, where our girls are nurtured and encouraged. Through engaging lessons, small class sizes and high-quality teachers, their skills, knowledge and understanding are developed with a sense of fun and purpose.

A Day in the Life of a Primary Girl
Our girls are engaged in thoughtful, creative learning with a curriculum which is designed to stimulate and challenge.
No two days in Primary School are the same. However, there are daily lessons in Numeracy, Literacy and Inquiry with specialist teaching in Dance, Music, Languages, Physical Education, Religious Education and Art.
We ensure each student is nurtured to their fullest potential in an environment of fun, exploration, encouragement and attentiveness.
A positive approach to teaching and learning ensures our girls are happy and thriving. Celebrating success, growth, achievement and even mistakes encourages their personal growth.
Strong teacher student relationships are fostered throughout each child’s journey at Chilton Primary.
To nurture their wellbeing and to develop a better understanding of themselves, our Year 5 and 6 students have access to Komodo; an online wellbeing platform.
Chilton has a zero bullying policy and students are taught to treat each other with kindness and inclusivity.
At Chilton Primary, we pride ourselves on our holistic approach to education. Your child will flourish at our school academically, socially, as a performing artist, a sportsperson, and as a global citizen.
Inquiry learning begins with exploring a big idea and ends with enduring understandings. Our girls build their knowledge and understanding before wondering and questioning. What ideas do we have? What issues can we explore? What problems do we need to solve?
Our small class sizes ensure our girls receive quality small group and one-on-one teaching on a daily basis. This is one of the key advantages of a Chilton education.
Alongside their learning in English, Mathematics and Inquiry, our girls receive specialist tuition in Dance, Music, Physical Education, Religious Education Te Reo, and Spanish.
The move from Primary to Middle School is the seamless next step in your child’s learning journey. It is our priority that our students are well-adapted and fully prepared for their transition into Middle School.
