For children, the playground is just another classroom, even if they don't realise it. Its a place to learn and develop skills. Social skills, balance and dexterity, and just making friends. We try to allow the children the time and space to express themselves. 

 

The History of Schools in Charlwood 

Bristows School was probably the first all age school in Charlwood. It was built in about 1620 by the Rector. The Schoolmaster had to teach two poor children free of charge.

School meals are served in a separate dining hall and the children are encouraged to eat the daily cooked midday meal.

The present cost is £1.80 and dinner money should be paid weekly on a Monday (or every half term). It should arrive in a sealed envelope or purse clearly marked with the child's name and containing the exact money please, or a cheque made payable to Surrey County Council.

Alternatively, children may bring a packed lunch which they, too, eat in the dining hall.

Lunch arrangements can only be changed with two weeks notice.

Children may bring a carton or flask of drink and some prepared fruit or plain biscuits to have before morning break time.
