History
The Chantry High school was established in 1963, moving from its former early 19th century building across the road. The name changed to the Chantry School after becoming an academy in 2012.
In 2007 there was a notable case where a past instructor "Ian Wood" was found guilty of possession of two indecent images of children on his computer and a short clip of a child rape.[2]
A July 2023 Ofsted report awarded the school a Grade 2 (Good).[1] The Chantry School was named in Tatler magazine's top 20 state schools guide for 2018.[3]
