A Message from our Principal

On behalf of students and staff, I would like to welcome you to The Chalfonts Community College. I am proud to be the principal of this school, where students of all abilities are welcomed, and we seek the best from every student. We work hard to inspire students to love learning, and all we do is linked to this. At our core are lessons that inspire students and allow students to discover that they are capable of more than even they themselves thought possible.

As a larger-than-average school, we have a wide range of both curricular and extracurricular opportunities for students of all ages. The quality of teaching and breadth of our curriculum ensures that our students continue to perform successfully in public examinations.

The Chalfonts Community College is a vibrant and warm community where students are well-supported to fulfil their potential and leave school successfully prepared for their next steps. We have high expectations of everyone within our community, and all students are expected to work hard and behave in an exemplary fashion.

The Chalfonts Community College makes a difference to young people, and we very much look forward to welcoming you to the school and to joining our team.
