We are extremely proud of our school, which is in the heart of the community here in Chilton, a small town in the North-East of England. Chilton Academy occupies one of the largest sites of primary schools in Durham.  We are lucky enough to have an abundance of outdoor learning space and an impressive gymnasium, computer suite, science lab and fully-equipped stage in our beautiful school hall. We also have an allotment and expansive playing fields.

We have a dedicated team who have high ambitions for all pupils. We know our pupils well and the local area we serve. We are committed to raising aspirations and developing pupils’ self-belief that they can succeed in life. We have a bustling breakfast club which is open from 7.30am and after school provision until 4.30pm each evening. We are at the heart of the community of Chilton and dedicated to becoming a community hub. We have a private nursery - Happy Times - on site and Go Well have their offices on site too. 

However our greatest asset is our wonderful children. They are friendly, confident pupils and are a pleasure to be around. 

We warmly welcome visitors and hope to meet you soon. Please call the office on 01388 720255 to arrange a visit.
