Word From The Head

Head Photo

Sarah Chatterton


The values we instil in our pupils are designed to prepare them for life; school life, teenage life, work life, family life. We cultivate commitment, resilience and respect, knowing that these qualities will allow our future generations to flourish, despite challenges they may face.

At Brontë House, our class sizes are small enough to allow teachers to recognise and develop a child’s individual potential, yet large enough to provide children with a wide social circle in which friendships can flourish.

Learning at primary school is not just academic. It is the softer, social skills that develop when a child feels safe and supported that are the key to their future happiness.

We value the commitment and sacrifice that underlie every parent’s decision to entrust us with their child’s education and welfare and look forward to welcoming you to Bronte House.

      Imo Amos - Former Pupil


      I loved my time at Brontë House. I performed in many shows, played lots of competitive sport and went on fantastic residential trips, including a ski trip to Italy in Year 5. Experiencing these amazing opportunities with friends I made in Reception - growing in confidence together, was incredible.

      From day one the staff and pupils at Brontë House made our son feel welcome, happy and at home. Every day we collect him and he has a big smile on his face, telling us about the Maths challenge of the day or what Mr Phenny has taught them in music. As parents we could not be more thrilled with his...

      It was particularly important to us that we felt part of the school community and it was something that we felt instantly on joining. The staff work hard to build relationships with all the families and we feel welcome and valued. Deciding to move our children to Bronte was the best decision we...  

      Former Pupil


      I look back on my time at Brontë House with huge fondness; the environment was perfect for me to grow and develop both academically and socially. Particular highlights were the inaugural Rugby tour to Holland and welcoming former Olympians to open the new swimming pool!

      Since coming to Brontë House, my child has blossomed. She now looks forward to school each day and has rediscovered her love of learning.
