Queen’s Park High School is a smaller than average 11-18 school, beautifully located to the south of the River Dee, in the heart of Chester. Our school vision is “Inspiring Individuals · Empowering Minds · Defining Futures” and we aim to provide the very best learning and personal development opportunities for every young person that we serve.
We have committed, hard-working and enthusiastic staff, who regularly go above and beyond to ensure that all our students are known as individuals, are given opportunities to thrive both within and beyond the classroom and achieve success beyond their expectations. We are constantly striving to improve the quality of students’ classroom experiences in our pursuit of ‘great learning’.
Our expectations in terms of achievement and behaviour are very high. If our students are to reach their full potential as responsible citizens, we believe there has to be a culture of mutual respect, honesty and understanding; a culture which is at the heart of our school community.
Students are placed firmly at the heart of everything that we do, giving rise to a ‘family feeling’ which permeates throughout the school. We benefit significantly from active partnerships with parents and carers, members of the wider community as well as other organisations within education, culture and business.
Our School is now an academy within The Learning Trust, a newly established multi-academy trust aiming ‘to serve young people, to educate, enlighten and give them the expertise and confidence to succeed’. This is an exciting time in the development of Queen’s Park High School as we build upon our existing collaboration with Christleton High School and the new Chester International School which opened in September 2017 and is located on our school campus.
