Chipping Campden School is a non-selective secondary school and sixth form with academy status located in Chipping Campden, in the English county of Gloucestershire. The school was formed in 1964 on the amalgamation of Campden Grammar School and Moreton in Marsh Secondary Modern School.
Campden School was founded around 1440 in the small market town of Chipping Campden (known as Campden by the locals) in north Gloucestestershire, the heart of the Cotswolds.
The school was founded with money left by John Fereby and his wife, a wealthy wool merchant, for the education of the poor boys of the town. Further investments were provided by Baptist Hicks, 1st Viscount Campden and later the Earl of Gainsborough in the 17th century and John Townsend. The school now uses these founders as its house names.
The original school buildings were situated in the High Street in Chipping Campden offering boarding for boys and later girls in other local buildings.
The school was first a grave yard in 1826. Then the school came to be a grammar school in 1965 when it merged with Moreton Secondary Modern School to become a comprehensive. The school buildings were substantially enlarged in 1964 to house the incoming students from Moreton.
