Welcome toSouth Chingford Foundation School
A very warm welcome to South Chingford Foundation School. Our school is often referred to as a 'hidden gem'. Surrounded by greenery, tucked away in the heart of Chingford yet well connected by public transport. As you walk through the doors of our school the quality of education of offer quickly becomes apparent.
We are a school that places our students at the centre of all that we do. Committed to delivering the highest calibre education, we offer every learner a challenging, traditional, personalised education; we build our curriculum around the academic interests and strengths of our students; this is a truly unique strategy amongst schools and it inspires success and 'ambition for all'.
Our expectations are high. Academic progress and personal development are strong because, as a smaller school, we are truly able to celebrate and value every student as an individual. Our wider enrichment programme engages ALL students in character building activities alongside academic study. We call this 'Our Journey to Excellence'.
Our students, staff, parents and carers are incredibly proud of our school and our Trust, the Chingford Academies Trust. We work hard to support the wellbeing of our students and staff and as a consequence our learning community is built on strong, respectful, friendly and caring relationships. Our Chingford Academies Trust Charter describes the importance of relationships and forms the guiding principles which we work to, each and every one of us, every day.
South Chingford Foundation School is a happy place to learn. We invite prospective parents and students alike to visit and experience our uniquely successful school.
