Education at Chilmington
Now Open

Providing education facilities is one of the key elements in the creation of Chilmington, and with a new secondary school and four primary schools your children’s education will be taken care of.

Chilmington’s first primary school, opened at Chilmington in 2021, provides education for 420 pupils boasting state-of-the-art facilities right in the heart of this new community.

Students from Chilmington will be welcomed to the primary schools, while the secondary school, opening in 2023, will serve both Chilmington and the wider Ashford community.
