Welcome to Chesterton. We are an Ofsted Outstanding 2 Form Entry inner city primary school situated in the heart of Battersea, south west London. We are a UNICEF Rights Respecting School which holds the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child at its heart. Our rich curriculum empowers pupils to be active, global ctizens and develop a participatory approach to their world. Learning through rights allows our pupils to cultivate positive relationships with both peers and adults, supporting their education for life.
We're fortunate to have a Children's Centre co-located on our school site meaning we can offer education, and a wide range of services for families and their children aged 0 to 11. Our school leads the South West London Maths Hub, the Wandle Teaching School Alliance and the Wandle Early Years Hub.

We know that not all parents and carers can make our daytime parents' workshops, which is why we upload the slides and resources from each one to our website. Visit the parents' workshop area here for information on Phonics, times tables, Global Citizenship and much more!
Parents and carers with children in class IR are invited to join us for a class assembly. Please arrive promptly at the school office for 10.25am.
Our parents' evenings are a really important time for you to learn about your child's progress and achievements and planned next steps. We hope to see all parents and carers of children in Nursery to Year 6. Appointments will take place in the school halls between 3.30pm to 6pm. More information to follow.
This week in Year 1 we have been lucky enough to visit Battersea Park Library! We have been looking for books to help us in our topic of South America but Miss Ryall also let us get some beautiful picture books. We have also started reading some of Michael Rosen’s hilarious poetry books! We will let you know what we think!
This week Year 2 have been very busy learning outside the classroom! They packed their bags and set off to the Arctic on an adventure! During their adventure they discovered the things they needed the most to survive and the things they didn't... Water, Oxygen and food was essential but gruesomely toothbrushes were not! Year 4 and 5 have also had an exciting week as they were lucky enough to visit the Apollo Theatre to meet the author Dan Freedman as part of the Wicked Young Writer Awards. They were treated to 2 live performances from the cast of Wicked which were amazing! Dan Freedman also talked about his writing and his inspiration. It was a great experience!
This week has been another action packed 5 days! Tuesday was Safer Internet Day and upper phase sent a lot of time discussing the year's theme 'Together for Better Internet!'. Check out the website to find out more! www.safeinternet.org.uk
Year 5 visited the Apollo Theatre to participate in The Young Writers workshop. They were visited by author Dab Freedman, author of the Jamie Johnson book series. They were also fortunate to hear cast members of the west end show 'Wicked' sing some of their famous songs.
