Wide Range of Clubs

Chigwell School offers a thoughtfully designed program that blends staff expertise with what students actually want to pursue. Young people can explore creative outlets like art, ballet, and dance, dive into computing or science, join sports teams for football and netball, or develop their minds through puzzles, Small World role-playing games, and sewing. The available options shift regularly as new specialists arrive and student interests evolve.

Sports and Wellness

Modern facilities at Chigwell School give students access to excellent recreational opportunities during evening hours. They can use:

Each term, students pick one of three major sports to focus on: football, hockey, or cricket. Senior students who love football can join any of five teams, regardless of their skill level. Beyond these core options, the program includes rock climbing, multi-sport sessions, running, mini tennis, swimming, yoga, basketball, dance, futsal, netball, and table tennis.

Throughout the year, Chigwell School brings its community together through various gatherings. These include formal dinners, sports evenings, cinema screenings in the theater, birthday celebrations, and barbecues. One cherished tradition involves decorating the campus together before Christmas, while Friday dinners with alumni help maintain connections between generations who’ve passed through these halls.
