Chingford CofE Team

Chingford Church of England Primary School is a school with a strong sense of place, purpose and belonging. Rooted in its Christian foundation, the school has long been a centre of learning and community, where children are known, valued and encouraged to flourish as individuals. Our identity is shaped by faith, service, aspiration and by a deep commitment to nurturing the whole child.

At the heart of our school is a clear and shared vision for every child: a vision shaped by the curriculum they encounter, the character they develop and the sense of joy, safety and belonging they experience as part of our school family. We believe that education is transformational, enabling children to grow academically, socially and spiritually, and to leave us ready to play their part in the world with confidence and compassion.

This vision is brought to life through the people who serve our school each day. High-quality teaching and learning does not happen by chance; it is carefully crafted, continually reflected upon and rooted in high expectations for all. Guided by our Christian values, the adults in our school work with integrity, care and determination, placing the needs of children at the centre of every decision.
