It became co-educational in 2012, reversing a change to boys-only that was made in the early 1950s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Steeped in History )〕 With fewer than 200 pupils, the school considers itself small enough to allow everyone to know one another well and to feel valued, and large enough to have a strong community and a wide range of academic subjects, sport and creative arts. The school promotes traditional values and encourages families' close involvement in their children's education and the life of the school; pupils "have a love of learning and look after each other in a genuinely friendly, family atmosphere". The school is non-selective, with mixed-ability classes of no more than 18 pupils;〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= About us )〕 it reports outperforming national standards for both state and independent schools. The school's buildings are set around a central playing field. Facilities include a multi-purpose sports hall, indoor heated swimming pool, floodlit artificially turfed courts, and additional playing fields off-site. Classrooms are well resourced: interactive whiteboards are used and WiFi connects all classrooms to a state-of-the-art ICT suite, a product of collaboration with Cisco that resulted in the school being shortlisted in 2011 for Outstanding Financial/Commercial Initiative in the Independent Schools Awards. All prep school pupils take part in many physical activities designed to improve their confidence and skill, guided by the school's specialist coaches: there are two physical education lessons per week and two afternoons of games. Additionally there are optional early morning sessions, Saturday morning practices, and a variety of after-school practices and hobby activities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Sport )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chinthurst School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
