Christleton High School is a thriving, vibrant Academy with a long tradition of academic excellence and success. The school is situated in the picturesque village of Christleton, approximately 3 miles from the centre of Chester, serving a community of small villages and housing on the east side of the city. Academic standards at the school are very high, frequently the highest in the region, thanks to highly motivated staff, children who wish to learn and parents who support them. Our high standards are maintained by creating a caring climate of trust and mutual support between all who work in the school. Combined with our exceptional extra-curricular provision, all our students, no matter what their strengths and aptitudes, have opportunities that challenge and reward and enable them to be the best they can be.

The school has undergone a number of major refurbishments in the last 5 years to provide excellent facilities for learning, including a new iResearch Centre costing £0.75m and a £3M extensive re-modelling programme of the exterior of the building. It also has a large Leisure Centre, swimming pool and state-of-the-art 4G pitch, which are jointly managed and available for use by students and staff during the day.

The school operates a two-week timetable of 48 x 1hr periods. Every Wednesday afternoon there is systematic and planned staff development programme that is the focal point of our drive to constantly improve the learning experience of our students. We have a teaching staff who are committed, hard-working and dedicated to the success of our students. We expect a high level of professionalism but also a willingness to innovate in order that all our students are engaged in their learning, are challenged, whatever their needs and who make the required progress to fulfil their potential in an environment that is “happy, hardworking and courteous”.
