Mrs Parekh

Head of Science

I really enjoy working at CHS because of its strong sense of community and the supportive environment that allows both staff and students to thrive. For the students I teach, I want them to feel confident, curious, and empowered to take on challenges—both in the classroom and beyond.

William I.

Year 9

I really like being a CHS student. Since joining in Year 7, I have made connections with many classmates and teachers too. Going into GCSE years, all my teachers have been extremely supportive and have fully explained all my wide options choices. I can now go in with full confidence that I can pass.

Mayra E-C.

Year 7

I really enjoy Chertsey High School, and I really think it is a welcoming school. I enjoy learning new subjects every day and all the staff are extremely kind and supportive if you don’t understand something in class. This is an amazing school altogether.

Miss McGrandles

Deputy Headteacher

I love working at Chertsey because of the unwavering enthusiasm amongst staff to see every student succeed. It's inspiring to be part of a community where young people grow into confident role models and genuinely decent human beings.

Ruby R.

Year 9

I like the school because I enjoy the lessons especially art and drama because I can be creative and I can express myself. I also like doing the school musical each year because it’s something different to do and I get to learn new skills that I can use in future.

Mr Mckenzie

Head of Humanities

The pupils are consistently engaged by well-planned and thought-out lessons which aim to stretch and challenge all different types of learners.
