Chalvedon School and 6th Form College was a Specialist Technology College in Pitsea, Essex, England. It was a comprehensive school educating pupils aged between 11 and 18 years of age. Chalvedon had over 1800 pupils on roll including 196 sixth formers.

The school was first opened in 1966 and operated on the same site until its formal closure. Mr A S Roach became the Principal of the school in 1988.

In January 2006 Chalvedon School federated with another local comprehensive school, Barstable School, to form The Federation of Chalvedon School and Sixth Form College and Barstable School.
