Welcome to The Firs School, Chester

A leading independent primary school for boys and girls aged 0-11 years, 

focused on nurturing every pupil and equipping them with the learning and tools to become the very best that they can be.

On behalf of all the staff and children at The Firs School, I would like to welcome you to our website which offers a broad view of our school and gives an insight into the many successes and achievements of our students.

Our team of dedicated staff, both teaching and non-teaching provide an inspiring, structured, and supportive learning environment in which every child is nurtured to realise their true potential.
