Salesian School, Chertsey, school in Surrey, UK
Salesian School Chertsey is a secondary school in Surrey serving students from around age 11 to 18. The buildings blend traditional architecture with modern additions, featuring clean hallways, well-equipped classrooms, and spaces for sports and creative activities.
The school was founded in 1919 as a boys school and later gained a separate girls institution. In the early 1970s these two schools merged, with instruction initially kept separate before transitioning to a fully coeducational system.
The school is named after St. John Bosco, whose educational philosophy centers on compassion and developing the whole person. Visitors notice how these values show in daily life: in the respect between students and teachers, in the many shared activities like plays and music performances that bring the school community together.
The campus is accessible and designed with different abilities in mind, so all students feel welcome and supported. The grounds feature separate areas for learning, sports, and quiet reflection, with daily routines including class blocks, breaks, and shared lunch times.
The school was established by the Salesian Brotherhood, a community specifically focused on keeping young people happy, safe, and well-educated. An on-site chapel allows students to have moments of quiet reflection or prayer, reflecting the school's roots.
