Chenderit School is a mixed 11–18 county comprehensive school with specialist school status in the Visual Arts. Located in Middleton Cheney near Northampton. Chenderit School was opened in 1979 on fields, which it is said were formerly used for archery practice. The name 'Chenderit' is an adaptation of a medieval name for Middleton Cheney. Since the school was opened there have been significant changes both in the local area and in terms of the school itself. The school has had a history of being significantly oversubscribed in that it attracts students not only from within its catchment area but also from outside. There are now over 1100 students who attend Chenderit School.
Chenderit School has been proclaimed to be one of the best schools in Northamptonshire and in the country. Houses in the area are often more expensive because of the school.
