Parent Testimonial
"As a mother of three, moving my children to Chipping Norton Public School has been a life-changing decision for our family. My son, who has been diagnosed with Autism Level 3, was given the opportunity to attend, and I feel incredibly blessed and grateful. My daughters had always been in the private sector, so stepping into the public system was a whole new experience for me as a mum.
What I have found is nothing short of remarkable. The support, care, and dedication shown by the teachers, staff, and management go above and beyond. From day one, we have felt a true sense of belonging and community that has exceeded all expectations. My daughters have been presented with so many amazing opportunities to help build their confidence and grow.
For me, there is no greater comfort than being able to drop my kids off in the morning and walk away with absolute confidence, knowing they are in the best hands possible. I cannot thank Chipping Norton Public School enough for the incredible journey we've had so far. It has been supportive, inclusive , and an experience I will always be grateful for."

"Moving our daughter to a public school has been such a positive experience. At Chipping Norton Public School, the caring staff and strong sense of community have really helped her grow in confidence and enjoy learning. We couldn’t be happier with the choice we made."

Parent Testimonial
"Transitioning my child from a private school to a public school was a big decision, but I am so pleased with the outcome. In the private sector, I often felt my concerns weren’t being heard and my child was beginning to fall behind. Since moving, the difference has been incredible.
From the very beginning, the staff have been warm, supportive, and genuinely invested in my child’s learning and wellbeing. She has made such positive progress in her learning journey and has also grown in confidence, independence, and her love of school. The teachers provide excellent communication, tailored support, and create an environment where students are motivated to do their best.
This experience has exceeded my expectations, and I am truly grateful for the dedication and care shown by the school. Making the switch has been one of the best decisions for my child’s education and overall growth.
We couldn't be more pleased with Chipping Norton Public School!"

Parent Testimonial
"Having a leader like Mrs Diamond, you really can't go wrong. Every teacher and staff member are a reflection on her. Since my daughter has been enrolled at CNPS, I am very impressed and could not be happier, but most importantly my daughter is happy and learning so much. The P&C are amazing and really care about putting on wonderful events to support great causes. I just wish there was a high school in Chipping Norton with Mrs Diamond as the Principal!"
Parent Testimonial
"We love the welcoming nature and down to earth principal, Mrs Diamond. She leads by example and always puts the children first. The teachers are dedicated, hard working and have the children's best interest at heart. I love how the teachers get involved and do much more than just teach. I appreciate all they do such as training for sport, taking them on school camps and encouraging them to be the best they can be."
