HANDBOOK Friends of Chigwell

The Friends of Chigwell School (FOC) is the Parents’ Association of the School. It provides an opportunity to meet other parents, to exchange views, to engage in activities which support the School and to foster social relationships between the Friends, parents and staffs. Please contact the Head, Head of Prep and Pre Prep if you would like to become involved. The Chair of the FOC usually attends the parent presentations to which new and existing parents are invited in the Trinity term.
