Chafyn Grove was built as a school in 1876. Fifteen minutes walk from the middle of Salisbury but looking out onto the hills and surrounding countryside, Chafyn Grove is ideally situated on a plot of 12 acres. The school has developed steadily over the years and can now boast excellent facilities to support all aspects of school life.

Sports facilities include a sand-dressed artificial hockey pitch, a large sports hall, an outdoor swimming pool, hard tennis courts, glass-backed squash courts as well as some very well prepared grass pitches.

There are impressive buildings for Art and Science, a ten classroom block for Years 3 to 5, while building is about to start on a superb new library/classroom complex, which will be ready in June 2006.
