Chandlings School

Chandlings School is an independent co-educational preparatory school at Bagley Wood near Kennington in Oxfordshire, between Oxford and Abingdon.

The school is run by Cothill Educational Trust, an educational charity registered in England, which also operates three other schools: Cothill House, Château de Sauveterre and Kitebrook House.

Prior to September 2007 the school was known as Chandlings Manor School.

The current Headmistress, Mrs Judy Forest is leaving at the end of July for a retirement, 2008 after leading the school for 9 years. During her era the school has grown to have more than 420 pupils and 60 staff members. She has also seen the introduction of the nursery for children of 3.

In September 2008 a new headmistress will join the school. She is called Mrs Sophia Ashworth Jones and taught at Leeds Grammar Junior School.

The school was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in November 2006, with the conclusion that it "provides a well-integrated, broad and stimulating education for its pupils."^[1]
