Chandlings, or Chandlings Prep School, known until 2007 as Chandlings Manor School, is an independent co-educational preparatory school at Bagley Wood near Kennington, a village south of Oxford.
The school occupies a site of 62 acres (25 hectares), and is a member of the Independent Association of Prep Schools.
History
Chandlings was founded in 1994 as a co-educational day-school by the governors of Cothill House to supplement the preparatory boarding school education for boys at Cothill. In its early years, it was known as Chandlings Manor School.[1]
Present day
The school is operated by Radley Schools Group, an educational charity registered in England, which also operates other preparatory schools in England.[2]
Chandlings is a co-educational school which has a nursery and a pre-prep department, which delivers an Early Years Foundation Stage programme for children up to year 2, and then a prep department, for years 3 to 6. Pupils are divided into three houses: Richardson (colour: red), Astley (dark blue) and Poltimore (green).[3]
The headmaster is Adam Mallins.[4]
The Good Schools Guide says:
The name conjures up ancient stones, mullioned windows, the faded grandeur of an ancient aristocratic line. The reality is more of a 62-acre Southfork Ranch/nouveau Cotswold mash-up with added fountains. Parents be reassured, these well-appointed low-rise buildings do, in fact, lend themselves very well to a school.[5]
