Benefits to Pupils, Staff & Alumni
Enhancing Wellbeing & Enriching the Learning Experience
Our Location
Uniquely Situated to Enjoy the Countryside and the City
Chigwell School's leafy and spacious site is maintained throughout the year with care by our dedicated Grounds and Maintenance Team.
Uniquely positioned, our school benefits from the leafy surroundings of Epping Forest while being on the Central Line Tube for easy access to the City of London in around 20/25 minutes. An enchanting vista through the treeline offers stunning views of the City of London skyline - providing a glimpse into the window of opportunities for our students.
ECO INITIATIVES & SUSTAINABILITY
Caring for Our Environment
Situated on protected Green Belt land, we ensure that restoration and new developments to the School are sympathetic to our grounds and surroundings.
One of our values, 'A Community of Kindness', extends to our environment and how we care for the world around us.
We role model environmentally friendly behaviours and our pupil-led Eco Committee are a key part of driving sustainable change across the School.
- Outdoor learning: The Glen is the perfect place for our younger years to take part in Forest School Association activities
- Sports facilities including the Astro Turf, numerous football and cricket pitches enable us to host many games through-out the season
- Relaxation between studies: Many students, our boarders in particular, use the grounds for exercise and relaxation between studying and at weekends
- Alumni facilities: Old Chigwellians benefit from exclusive grounds including tennis courts, a football pitch and clubhouse
- Space for reflection: Our 'Quiet Garden' provides a peaceful place for reflection. Mrs Claire Tilbrook tell us why it's one of her favourite spaces - view the Quiet Garden Video.
