Chilton Cantelo School was a small profit-making mixed independent school located in the village of Chilton Cantelo (near Yeovil and Sherborne) in Somerset, England. The school was owned and operated by the Cognita Group.

Set on 25 acres (100,000 m2) of grounds, an 18th-century manor house housed the school.[1][2] It accepted pupils between the ages of 4 and 18. The school had boarding places for up to 220 of its pupils, with day pupils offered 'flexi-boarding' when needed. Class sizes were typically small.

Chilton Cantelo School was a member of the Independent Schools Association, the Independent Schools Council and the Boarding Schools Association. In July 2016, Cognita decided to close the school, leaving hundreds of students in the middle of exam courses.
