Teaching at Chigwell Pre Prep has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The Pre Prep is a happy, stimulating and purposeful place for both pupils and staff. The school building is very special, the curriculum is rich and exciting and the grounds provide fantastic opportunities. However, most of all it’s the people who make it the wonderful school that it is – the pupils, the staff and the parents. Children thrive here and that is the greatest reward of all.

Chigwell is a wonderful environment to work in. It's like one large family. Everyone is hugely supportive and friendly. Working in the drama department was so much fun and the team was so friendly and supportive especially in my teacher's training where I gained so much valuable experience working at Chigwell.

The school is a buzzing environment, pupils have excellent opportunities to try new things.

The pastoral care is excellent, the pupils are supported to do their best.
