Christleton High School is a large academy school located in the small village of Christleton on the outskirts of Chester. The Headteacher is Darran Jones.[5] The School offers education from age 11 to 18 and has its own Sixth Form.

History

Christleton County Secondary Modern School Opened in 1958 and became the 17th Secondary Modern School and 57th completed new school to open in Cheshire.[6]

The Secondary Modern and Secondary Technical School was designed to cater for the needs of pupils in the developing areas of Vicars Cross, Guilden Sutton, Mickle Trafford, Waverton, Barrow and Christleton, but also took in pupils from an area of approximately 75 sq miles.

Sports facilities

Christleton High School has access to the council owned Christleton Sports Centre, located on the school site. The facilities include a sports hall, gym, squash court, dance studio, a large outdoor floodlit court, an all-weather pitch and swimming pool.

OFSTED

The School currently has an Outstanding OFSTED which was given in 2014. A previous inspection in 2006 by OFSTED gave the School Notice to Improve and a further inspection in 2007 rated the school as Satisfactory. In 2010 OFSTED rated the School as Good.

Smoking at the School

The school first made headlines in 2002 when former headteacher Geoff Lawson introduced an experiment aimed at helping nicotine-addicted pupils quit smoking.[7] Fifteen-year-old pupils from the school were permitted two cigarette breaks a day under strict supervision of teachers. This policy no longer applies with smoking being forbidden on school grounds.
