Welcome
Welcome to Chingford Church of England Primary School.
Welcome
To pupils, parents & carers, we hope you see this site as an extension of your school; one that you can visit whenever you want for information or simply to show us off to your friends. To those of you we don’t yet know, we hope you‘ll find it worth your while to have a good look around and find out more about us! Chingford CofE is a successful two-form entry primary school split across two sites.
Our school is situated in a pleasant part of North Chingford close to Epping Forest, in the London Borough of Waltham Forest and we have close connections with the local parish church of St Peter's & St Paul's. We are a UNICEF Rights Respecting School and our pupils are at the heart of everything we do. Emphasis is placed on high standards of achievement and behaviour within a supportive environment. We carefully plan our curriculum to ensure it is broad but has depth. We want to instil in our children a passion for learning. Our Christian vision is underpinned by the sentiments expressed in St Paul’s letter to the Christian community living in Philippi who were instructed to ‘not only look out for your own interests but take an interest in others, too‘ (Philippians 2:4). This inclusive vision permeates every aspect of our school life encouraging excellence, aspiration, care and empathy in all our stakeholders; of looking out not only for our interests, but also the interests of others; in short, of taking care of each other underpins all that we do. Our school's Christian values of compassion, forgiveness, honesty, humility, tolerance, tenacity and service are at the core of all we do. Through our curriculum and our daily acts of collective worship they are embedded alongside the articles laid down in the convention on the rights of the child. As a result the children are happy, friendly and well-behaved and they love learning. Spiritual development is a vital component of daily school life with opportunities to connect to the world around us, appreciating the awe and wonder, developing curiosity and connecting us to a sense that there is something greater than us. Our children achieve results in all subjects that are higher than the national average and consistently make good progress too.

So how do we do it? Well there’s no big secret. We work hard at doing the right things and we get help from our families and friends.
