CHIGWELL SCHOOL

At Chigwell School we are always encouraging our international pupils to challenge themselves as they prepare for the demands of university study by offering a variety of academic opportunities in addition to their A Levels. One of these opportunities recently arose: the Royal Society of Chemistry’s annual Chemistry Olympiad. This is a challenging two-hour exam based on Year 13 and undergraduate-level chemistry, with 15,000 students taking part nationwide. Two of our international boarders, Helena (Year 12) and Martyna (Year 13), achieved a silver award. We are delighted that they took this opportunity to test their knowledge and are extremely proud of their achievement.

Our unique, family-style boarding provision is the perfect setting for academic achievement and beyond. With less than thirty international Sixth Formers, who live on site with dedicated houseparents alongside pupils of different nationalities, we create a friendly and supportive environment where international pupils can flourish. We also benefit from being uniquely positioned, with our school located in the leafy surroundings of Epping Forest while being on the Central Line tube for easy access to the City of London in around 35 minutes.
