Anglo European School is a self-governing, co-educational state school situated in Ingatestone, Essex. It is a school for boys and girls of all abilities, with 1,306 students aged 11 to 19. It was the first state school in Britain to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma and the first to become a Language College. The school offers opportunities to travel abroad, often on exchanges and learn many languages such as French, German, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Italian, Chinese and Latin.

There are two headteachers, Jill Martin and David Barrs, who run the school together. Mr Barrs teaches Geography, and Mrs Martin teaches History.
