Headteachers Welcome!


Welcome to Atherton High School. Our school sits at the heart of the community and encompasses the values and strengths of the town’s proud history. Atherton High School is part of the Education Partnership Trust (EPT), who are committed to creating outstanding schools which transform learning, lives, and communities.


Our school has a culture built around our values of respect, responsibility, and ambition; these core values underpin all we do. We promote our values through a strong, knowledge rich curriculum, whereby pupils develop depth of understanding across a wide range of subjects, to enable an ambitious education for all learners.


We are blessed with dedicated, talented, and highly qualified staff who expect the highest standards and academic effort from all our pupils. We encourage our pupils to take responsibility for their actions, decisions, and their future education and in doing so, we are providing an education for life. We believe every pupil is an individual that can achieve well; this is their responsibility, but we will support them every step of the way!


We are proud of our pupils and proud of our school. We expect pupils to demonstrate the highest standards of behaviour so that everyone can learn, free from disruption or barriers. We want all our pupils to feel safe and to develop into caring, responsible, and confident young people. Pupils will be given a wealth of opportunities to experience culture beyond their experience so that they may develop holistically.


Support for each other is a key component of any thriving community. We are proud to serve our local community. Our facilities are accessed by local clubs and organisations to help deliver important extracurricular opportunities to develop pupils beyond school. We are also proud of the many pupils who enrich local community groups and offer a great deal to the wider community as a result. We are committed to working closely with our pupils, families, partner schools and the wider community to contribute positively to the local area and ensure the best possible outcomes for the young people of Atherton.
