About Us
Chatsworth Schools was founded by Anita Gleave in September 2018 with a vision to enable outstanding futures for all children by creating an independent and international schools’ family on her belief in non-selective, high-quality education.
In just five years (which included a global pandemic), Chatsworth Schools in the UK, and Blenheim Schools internationally, have become two leading brands in the inclusive, non-selective sector globally – by inclusive we mean that we do not assess children through entrance examinations to join our schools. Instead, we welcome children through a bespoke admissions process personalised to each child. Our schools reflect our society in their diversity, their community, in their individual potential. Proudly so.
Our growth has been rapid and has seen us grow from 1 to 16 schools and nurseries in the UK and internationally and the education of over 2,200 children around the world.
