Music

Live@6 We continue to be enthralled by the capacity of our pupils to bring live music to us through our Live@6 recital series. These have been streamed live through the School’s YouTube Channel. The current record for the greatest number of hits is 1,029 views, currently held by the Third Form from their recital. We are hoping that one of the recitals over this half term, from Upper Two, Lower Two, Third Form, Fourth Form, Removes and Lower Fifth will eclipse that record.

Instrumental Lessons The significant majority of one-to-one instrumental lessons are now back, live in person in the Music Department. If pupils would be interested in learning an instrument and or continuing with instrumental lessons which had been suspended due to COVID, please contact Mrs Jane Jackson the Music Department Administrator or if new, access the form here Choir Additionally, we have begun to rehearse larger groups as COVID restrictions have been lifted. These take place in Chapel and all pupils from these year groups are welcome to attend.

3G Pitch Inauguration

On 22nd April, our new artificial grass 3G pitch was officially opened by Sir Geoff Hurst, MBE. At Chigwell, we believe sport is important to the development of the whole person – learning to work with others as part of a team and to play, win and occasionally lose well. This new facility will have a tremendous impact on what we are able to offer pupils at Chigwell but we are also very keen that it benefits our friends across the community too. Sir Geoff Hurst will have inspired the pupils who heard him speak at the opening. Their job is now to become an inspiration to others. We thank Sir Geoff and all involved in the creation of the new pitch, which is now being utilised by local teams as well as Chigwell students.
