iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Chingford Church of England Primary School. Chingford Church of England Primary School is a successful two-form entry school across two sites in North Chingford, close to Epping Forest and at the heart of its local community.
Rooted in a Christian vision, the school is a place where everyone is welcomed, valued and respected, regardless of faith, belief or background. Our school community is encouraged to look out for one another and to take an interest in the lives of others. Compassion, tolerance, service and integrity shape daily life.
The diversity of cultures, traditions and heritages within the school creates a rich tapestry that reflects modern Britain. As a UNICEF Gold Rights Respecting School, children are placed at the heart of all that happens.
High expectations for learning and behaviour sit alongside a carefully planned, ambitious curriculum and a strong focus on wellbeing, inclusion and personal development. Children are happy, confident and eager to learn.
