Looking Ahead

Future Development

Cherry Hills is growing organically — expanding one year group at a time alongside our students. By 2029, our current campus will offer a complete pathway from Early Years through to Year 9, establishing our lower secondary programme. This is a milestone, not a destination — the school's long-term vision extends into full secondary education, ensuring students can continue their journey with Cherry Hills well beyond Year 9.
