Founded in 1629, it is set in fine open countryside in Chigwell village. It lies in 70 acres of playing fields and woodlands between Epping and Hainault Forests, only 10 miles from central London. Architecturally, it makes a most satisfying unit and the original 17th-century building is still in use. It has many excellent modern facilities, most recently centres for music, ICT, science, DT, practical arts and drama centre. The junior school is combined. Originally a boys' school, it became co-educational in 1997 after nearly 25 years' experience of girls in the sixth form. We seek to educate is the widest sense, examination results are very good and the vast majority of leavers go on to some of the most selective universities including Oxbridge.
We are Christian in our ideals and inspiration but children of all faiths are made to feel very welcome. There is a wide variety of music. Drama and art are strongly supported. A good range of sports and games and considerable all-round success, especially in football, cricket, hockey and netball (numerous representatives at regional and national level). There are also plentiful extra-curricular activities, including commitment to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.
Entry is primarily at 7+, 11+ and 16+. There are some 40 6th form boarders who live in three small boarding houses in which there is a family atmosphere.Further information on Public Schools »
