ur purpose is to improve the life chances of young people through high quality education, leading to worthwhile qualifications and the development of skilful, honest and employable young people. It is an expectation that children,

adults and all who are connected with the school share, learn, aspire and continually improve.

We are inclusive and comprehensive. Students of all abilities and backgrounds are welcomed to Christleton from our local community.

In 2012, we opened a new £0.75 million research centre. In 2011 we became an Academy, enabling us to serve our children and community more effectively with greater academic and financial freedom. Our results are consistently amongst the higest in the region typically. 55% of all A2 level students achieved A*, A or B grades and 95% of all GCSE students achieving 5 good passes (A*-C).

If you are considering a place at Christleton High School, I trust you will find this document a start to the exciting process of choosing the right school for you.

To Learn, To Grow, To Succeed Together

“I’m not in competition with

anybody but myself. My goal is to beat my

last performance”

Our monitoring, celebration and improvement systems throughout the school are based on the premise that only when we do our best, can we fully understand our strengths and weaknesses.

Teachers, students and parents can all support progress using real time data for effort,

achievement and attendance. This will enable students to work in a supported and informed

way to maximise their learning potential.

Structured for success

Currently over 300 students have musical instrument tuition. In 2012 students won 17 local and area sporting cups.
