Since the school was opened there have been significant changes both in the local area and in terms of the school itself. The school has had a history of being significantly oversubscribed in that it attracts students not only from within its catchment area. There are now over 1100 students who attend Chenderit School. In August 2012 the school became an academy.
The Michael Heseltine Gallery
It has an attached Art Gallery that has constant exhibition that changes every term. The gallery holds many different forms of art such as painting, drawing, textiles, photography and sculpture. The Gallery is named after politician, Michael Heseltine.
This is a purpose built gallery which opened in September 2003 and is constructed at the entrance to the school. It is made from glass and galvanised steel with cedar panelling and is used for a range of exhibitions by contemporary artists, craftspeople, and photographers during school terms. Private individuals, artists or art societies can book the gallery space for their own exhibitions during school holidays. Talks by the exhibiting artists are also available.
