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 (French Prepositions of Location)">En vs Dans with locations (French Prepositions of Location)">En vs Dans with locations (French Prepositions of Location)">En vs Dans with locations (French Prepositions of Location)
Bonne journée !
