Chigwell School is an English co-educational public school in the Epping Forest district of Essex. It was founded by Samuel Harsnett in 1629. There are around 730 pupils aged between 7 and 18 years.

The school is situated between Epping Forest and Hainault Forest and ten miles away from London. It is represented on the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference (HMC) and the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools (IAPS).

The school motto is aut viam inveniam aut faciam, a Latin phrase which translates literally as Either I shall find a way or I shall make one, but is usually rendered as Find a way or make a way.

There are four day houses, named Caswalls, Lambournes, Penns, and Swallows. The boarding houses are Grange Court, Sandon Lodge, and Hainault House.
