Chelmsford County High School prides itself on offering a broad and enriching experience for students. To this end, we recognise that learning does not only take place in the classroom. Extra-curricular activities allow students to deepen their interests and broaden their horizons. It is for these reasons that we strongly advise students to get involved so they can become full members of the school community. A rich and vibrant culture of extra-curricular activities exists at the school. Students participate in activities during lunchtimes, after school and over weekends. Such activities clearly feed into our mission and aims as a school. Crucially, these activities allow students to organise and take responsibility for events, thus allowing them to develop their leadership skills. This spirit of adventure and excellence was summed up well by a student speaker at our recent Open Evening – “work hard, play hard.”
