Campus

Campus Location

Chigwell School occupies a sprawling 100-acre estate just minutes from London, where historic architecture blends seamlessly with contemporary facilities across meticulously maintained grounds. A dedicated team ensures these extensive green spaces remain pristine, creating an ideal environment for both study and relaxation. Its location within a protected green belt adjacent to Epping Forest offers something rare—sweeping views across the London skyline that remind students they’re connected to the capital while surrounded by nature.

Sustainability at Chigwell School

Environmental stewardship runs deep here, influencing every restoration and construction project undertaken on campus. This commitment extends beyond infrastructure—the student-led Eco-committee actively develops initiatives that reduce the school’s ecological footprint, demonstrating how young people can translate values into tangible action. Their projects showcase a generation taking genuine responsibility for the world they’ll inherit.
