About the school/organisation
About Cheadle Hulme School
Cheadle Hulme School has built a reputation as one of the region’s most modern, relevant and dynamic schools, with 1,600 students aged 3-18. But CHS is more than just a school; it is a thriving, co-educational community, with a strong sense of our history and values.
We believe a successful educational experience involves more than pupil and teacher; it involves a broad network of people who each contribute to the development, growth and experience of the individual.
As such, our staff are our greatest asset, and the key to our success. We want to attract and retain the best, provide them with encouragement, stimulus and ensure that they feel valued as an integral part of the school community.
Our Vision and Values
Our vision is to develop and foster in all members of the School community, a desire to learn, question and persevere in all that they do, and to embody our Values. We will enable our pupils to flourish in their lives whilst at CHS but also beyond, thus making a positive impact on the world around them.
Through an active, academic and altruistic curriculum, our pupils are provided with opportunities to help them make the very best of their journey at CHS. At the centre of their CHS experience lies a set of core values instilled in all members of our CHS community:
- Integrity
- Endeavour
- Resilience
- Compassion
- Contribution
- Our Campus
Located ten miles south of Manchester, Cheadle Hulme School is set in 83 acres of countryside with fine historical Victorian buildings. Our campus includes first class facilities, which have benefited from significant investment in recent years, including a new fitness centre, a refurbishment of the School’s principal performance space, the development of a dedicated Sixth Form Building, and a new dining space.
Our Green Plan
As a school, we have a central role to play in educating our entire community about the importance of environmental sustainability. In an ever-changing world, we are committed to minimising the impact of school life on our environment, and supporting the global efforts to save our planet. Through our ‘Green Plan’ we aim to educate and empower our community to make positive changes, and our aspiration is to be Carbon NetZero by 2030.
