Important information To all Parents and Guardians who will be collecting students tonight (26th June 2009). Please do not park on Withington Avenue as this will be used for buses. Please use Shaw Street. 
We are a successful and popular 11-18 school on the outskirts of Warrington. We serve a wide range of areas including Culcheth and its surrounding villages but also take students from other areas and authorities. The education of young people is a significant responsiblity and one that at Culcheth High School we take very seriously. Students have one chance to make a success of their schooling and it is essential that we help them get the most from it.
Our priorities are simple but fundamental:
1. We will deliver excellence in teaching and ensure all the students get the best possible exam results.
2. We will support all students through quality pastoral care and high expectations of behaviour.3. We will foster student talents through a full range of extra-curricular activities. |

We are delighted with the outcomes from our recent Ofsted report (March 2009).
The school is given a rating of “good” by Ofsted, a reflection of the tremendous improvement since we were rated as “under-achieving” (2003). Included within the body of a very favourable report are comments such as:
“Culcheth High School provides a good education for its students and has improved since its last inspection”“a good proportion of lessons are now outstanding”“students’ personal development, including their attendance and attitudes to learning, is good”“good learning leadership and management provides clear direction and vision”.
All the four main areas covered by inspection were rated as “good”. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural content and contribution to the community were both rated as “outstanding”. Students’ attitudes to behaviour and learning were both highly praised by the inspectors as was the quality of classroom relationships and the subject knowledge of teachers. Care, guidance and support for students was described as “good with some outstanding features”. Post-16 provision in the college was also identified as “good”.
The two main development priorities identified by inspectors – ensuring consistency in assessment and all students make good or better progress in the college – are points that we accept and embrace, and will form key areas of future action planning.
We are pleased with the outcomes. We have come a long way in the last few years. We are, however, not complacent, and are aiming to improve further.
I thank all members of the school community – teachers, parents, governors, partners and, above all, students – for their help in getting us to where we are now. We will continue to aim to bring the best for every child.
