Cameron Vale, located in the heart of Chelsea, is a hidden gem. Just off the King’s Road, with all of London to use as its classroom, the children benefit from a quite unique education.
The school has boys and girls from age 4 to 11, alongside their nursery provision, The Chelsea Nursery, which has little learners from 6 months old up to pre-school.
The school, and nursery, provide a nurturing learning environment in a home-from-home atmosphere. The school is like a large family, all the pupils, staff and parents know each other well and these strong relationships build great communication between school and home.
Whilst the school is non-academically selective on entry, the school looks to ensure that all pupils will thrive from the education on offer. Whilst small in size, the outlook and opportunities for the children are great.
Small class sizes allow for personalised and adapted learning to stretch and challenge the needs of the most able as well as those requiring more encouragement or support. Preparation for 11+ is seamless, the children are extremely well prepared for the specific schools applied for, reflected in the excellent track record of destination schools and scholarships.
The local area provides a wealth of opportunity for sport in leagues and against local schools. The older pupils benefit from 3 x 90-minute sports sessions a week with no bus runs, we walk everywhere!
Forest School starts in Nursery and continues weekly through Reception, up until Year 2. Years 3-6 do not miss out, with a regular block of Forest School sessions each year plus residential trips and an annual ski trip.
The school teaches French as our modern foreign language, teaching both native and non-native speakers. The children link with a French speaking school in Morrocco to share their learning as well as local visits to the Insititut Francais.
Cameron Vale is not just a wonderful community, it is a school which ensures that every child thrives and experiences success, ready and prepared to transition independent to their first choice senior schools in the future
