Student Reviews about Chigwell School

Pupils value both their academic preparation and the pathways it opens to prestigious universities. They particularly appreciate how teachers provide personalized guidance throughout their studies. Small class sizes and additional tutorial sessions allow staff to address individual needs, which not only strengthens exam performance but also supports personal development beyond the classroom.

Subject Performance

Results from 2023 demonstrate excellence across numerous disciplines. Students achieved A*-C grades in Classical Civilisation, Design and Technology, Drama, Geography, German, History, Latin, and Music. Core subjects also showed strong outcomes: Mathematics (98% A*-C), Physics (95% A*-C), and Chemistry (89% A*-C). Such achievements reinforce the school’s international reputation.

Community Involvement

Through its Community of Kindness program, the school raises over £20,000 annually for charitable causes. These funds support various organizations, including the Tim Preuss Memorial School in Tamil Nadu, Smiles with Grace, and Kids Inspire. Students actively contribute through initiatives like the choir’s Christmas services and the pupil committee’s annual Charity Week.
