Welcome to the Lower School
When pupils join us in Year 7 there is a well-planned transition programme to enable them to feel comfortable and to integrate fully into Chigwell School life. In Year 7, each form has a Form Tutor who gets to know their pupils really well and there are year heads overseeing both Year 7 and Year 8. During these two years pupils follow a broad curriculum and have the opportunity to experience subjects that they have not studied in the past. They get used to moving between specialist departments for their lessons and there is a wide range of co-curricular opportunities.
