Buckhurst Hill County High School, BHCHS, (1938–1989) was a secondary school in Chigwell, Essex.
It opened on 15 September 1938. It was near to RAF Chigwell and the River Roding.
In 1953 there were 549 boys and the staff consisted of the headmaster and nineteen assistant masters.
It became a comprehensive in the mid-1970s. The school was combined with two other schools in 1989 to become Roding Valley High School, located on a different site. The BHCHS building was subsequently sold off by Essex CC and is now the home of an independent faith school called Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College.
The former pupils' association, Old Buckwellians, is still active with 1600 members.
