Cherryfield College is a Nigerian and British-style co-education school established to cater for children located throughout Nigeria and beyond. It is located in Jikowyi, FCT Abuja, the federal capital territory of Nigeria. It was established in September 2004.[1]
History
In September 2004, the gate of this citadel of learning was flung open to 96 students drawn from different parts of the country.[1] At the gate of the welcome team was the pioneer British Principal, Mr. Robert Parkin. The current Principal is Mr. Neil Howie. The college has witnessed astronomical growth in the student population and staff strength since its inception. Now the college has a population of 300 students. As usual, the student population’s growth necessitated an equivalent growth in the staff population. Today, the college has over 150 experienced and qualified staff. Out of this, 71 are teaching staff. The school has a Board of Directors and a Board of Governors: The Board of Directors comprises Hon. Lt. Col. Akor JAC (rtd), Engr.

Enejoh.[2]
