CHS South

Welcome to CHS South, our new 11-16 eight-form entry, mixed, comprehensive school opened in conjunction with Chorlton High School. Our school provides a full capacity of 1200 in our brand new building which opened in September 2021.

Our school received it's first Ofsted inspection in January 2023 and were graded as ‘good’ in all areas. In the report Inspectors comment that,

“CHS South is a welcoming and supportive community. Pupils are proud of their school. Pupils understand the school values of ‘ready, respectful, safe’, and they try hard to follow them in all that they do.”

I am immensely proud to be entrusted with the role of Headteacher at CHS South. To be able to extend the fantastic provision on offer at CHS South to more young people in our community is one I embrace whole-heartedly. Over the past 14 years, I have been honoured to contribute to the development of CHS South as a member of the Senior Leadership Team and I passionately believe in our ethos of providing an education that allows young people to become creative, happy and successful. CHS South allows more young people in our community to access an education that not only allows them to achieve academic excellence but also acquire the creative skills necessary to successfully apply their abilities and navigate their way in an ever changing landscape.

We ensure the young people at CHS South have access to a broad and forward thinking enrichment curriculum. We are well positioned to offer a diverse and engaging sports curriculum through our fantastic relationships with the vast array of sports providers in our community. Furthermore, our expertise and understanding of the creative arts, an industry growing faster in our local community than anywhere in the UK outside London, will ensure our young people are provided with the opportunities to develop and hone their skills in order to become the next generation of creative trailblazers.

The delivery model at CHS South is based upon the structures and processes that have successfully delivered outstanding outcomes at CHS South. We use our curricular strength to ensure that we support and challenge so that all students can achieve success; we use our operational strength to ensure that our provision is efficient and effective, accurately targeting resource to need and delivering a creative, happy and successful experience for all young people.
