About our school

Message from Mrs Bratley

I’d like to warmly welcome you to Chrishall Holy Trinity and St Nicholas CE (Aided) Primary School and Pre-School. I am extremely proud of our spirited, friendly village school and I hope that our website and class blogs  give you a flavour of what makes us so special.

At Chrishall, we provide a rich, creative and challenging curriculum in which children learn through inspirational, purposeful and real-life learning experiences. We have high expectations of all the children and want them to grow up enjoying learning and acquiring a thirst for knowledge and for life. By steering children’s natural curiosity through a wide range of independent learning activities, children are encouraged to use and develop key life skills.

As a Green Flag school, we are always exploring ways that the environment can be cared for and what we can do to keep the Earth healthy. We are lucky that within the school grounds and woodland areas, children are able to learn first hand about the wonders of the natural environment. Regular Forest School and outdoor learning sessions help children to develop confidence and valuable practical outdoor skills.

Please do read our Vision and Aims to see how a caring, Christian ethos underpins all that we do. Children at Chrishall are supported in their learning by dedicated staff, parents and governors. Feel free to call the school office to book an appointment if you would like to see us in action.

Under the School Information (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 and 2016 all maintained schools in England are now required to publish specific information on their websites.

  • A Little bit more...

    Our Church Of England school was formed by an amalgamation of two village primary schools, Elmdon and Chrishall. The Bishop of Chelmsford officially opened the current school buildings in 1973.

    The school is set in a beautiful rural environment overlooking an extensive meadow. We have our own playing field, hard surface playground, wildlife area, productive garden and the use of an adventure playground and woodland area. The school has strong community links and is supported by an enthusiastic and committed Friends of Chrishall School Association. Governors, many of whom currently send or have sent children to the school, visit frequently and take a very active interest in every aspect of the work of the school. Our children are encouraged to feel a sense of belonging to the ‘school family‘ and of being cared for, valued and involved in that ‘family’.

    Registered as an ‘Eco School’, we achieved the Silver award in 2010 and have since been awarded the prestigious Green Flag award, which symbolises excellence in the field of environmental activity.

    There are five teaching classrooms and a small music room. The school hall is used for assemblies, music, P.E., drama and school meals. There is a library in the centre of the school and we also have a conservatory for use by the reception class and for small group work.  The teaching staff work closely together as a team, planning co-operatively, contributing to monitoring and evaluation, taking curriculum responsibility in one or more areas and supporting each other.

    The school operates an Early Years Admission Policy. The number of children intended to admit is 15 per year group.  The organisation of year groups within classes is flexible depending on the number of children within each year group. This is reviewed annually.

    Our school values its position within the Parish of The Icknield Way Villages. The parish rector visits the school in a pastoral role, serves as a governor and contributes to assemblies and R.E.
