Bonjour Anish !
You will never use en in French to express "at", and here are the two possible cases with school:
Je suis à l'école. I am at school.
Je suis dans l'école. I am in the school.
See our lesson on en versus dans with locations:
En vs dans with locations (prepositions)">En vs dans with locations (prepositions)">En vs dans with locations (prepositions)">En vs dans with locations (prepositions)
Bonne journée !

This question relates to:
French lesson "À + le = au, à + les = aux, de + le = du, de + les = des (contractions of articles)"
