Many congratulations to the CCHS Community, whose work and accomplishments have been recognised in The Telegraph ‘Best Schools’ listing for the state schools with the highest GCSE grades. CCHS is no.7 in the Top 100 Ranking, which is a testament to our brilliant students, talented staff and supportive CCHS families.
The 2025-26 academic year marks the 120th anniversary of schooling at CCHS and the beginning of a girls’ education community in Chelmsford. Wonderfully, this academic year also marks the 110th anniversary of the first CCHS Alumna to graduate from university – Winifred Picking, first-class degree in Natural Sciences from Girton College, Cambridge, 1916 – which was a key moment for our then developing school community, and an occasion for us to remember and be inspired by now.
