Introducing Our New Brand Film

We are pleased to share our new brand film, created to give an authentic and thoughtful look at life at Chigwell School. The video highlights our community, our values, and the day‑to‑day experiences that shape pupils across all age groups at our independent school in Essex.

A True Reflection of Our School Community

Chigwell School is a place where pupils feel supported, encouraged, and inspired. An environment full of momentum - warm, welcoming, and forward‑looking. Our new film captures this environment by showing the range of opportunities pupils enjoy, as well as the values that sit at the heart of everything we do:

  • Happiness First
  • Courage and Resilience
  • Innovation
  • Kindness
  • Lifelong Learning

These principles guide our approach to education - they shape daily life at Chigwell, helping every child flourish academically, socially, and personally.

Our New Tagline

Chigwell School – Turning Up the Volume.

Our new slogan captures our commitment to helping every pupil grow academically and personally, and to ensuring their school experience is engaging, supportive, memorable and filled with excitement.

The Idea Behind the Film

The film is shaped around the concept of “turning up the volume” — using the structure and rhythm and layers of music, to illustrate the different layers of school life. It follows the natural flow of a day at Chigwell, highlighting moments of focus, creativity, teamwork, and achievement.

Authentic Chigwell School Life

The film features real scenes from across the school, from Pre‑Prep to Sixth Form, offering an honest view of learning, friendships, and activity on campus.

A Dynamic and Engaging Environment

A combination of drone footage, natural sound, and thoughtful editing helps portray the energy of the school without overstating it.

Our Values in Practice

Each chapter of the film focuses on one of our five core values, showing how they shape learning, wellbeing, and character development at Chigwell School.

A Meaningful Closing Message

The film concludes with a simple celebration of community and individuality, reflecting the confidence and positivity we aim to instil in every pupil. The final scenes bring together many voices and moments that help define Chigwell School.
