About the school/organisationAbout Cheadle Hulme School
Cheadle Hulme School has built a reputation as one of the region’s most modern, relevant and dynamic schools, with 1,600 students aged 3-18. But CHS is more than just a school; it is a thriving, co-educational community, with a strong sense of our history and values.
We believe a successful educational experience involves more than pupil and teacher; it involves a broad network of people who each contribute to the development, growth and experience of the individual.
As such, our staff are our greatest asset, and the key to our success. We want to attract and retain the best, provide them with encouragement, stimulus and ensure that they feel valued as an integral part of the school community.
Our Vision and Values
Our vision is to develop and foster in all members of the School community, a desire to learn, question and persevere in all that they do, and to embody our Values. We will enable our pupils to flourish in their lives whilst at CHS but also beyond, thus making a positive impact on the world around them.
Through an active, academic and altruistic curriculum, our pupils are provided with opportunities to help them make the very best of their journey at CHS. At the centre of their CHS experience lies a set of core values instilled in all members of our CHS community:
Integrity
Endeavour
Resilience
Compassion
Contribution
Our Campus
Located ten miles south of Manchester, Cheadle Hulme School is set in 83 acres of countryside with fine historical Victorian buildings. Our campus includes first class facilities, which have benefited from significant investment in recent years, including a new fitness centre, a refurbishment of the School’s principal performance space, the development of a dedicated Sixth Form Building, and a new dining space.
Strategy 2030
While we are proud of our heritage, we understand that standing still is not an option. Work trends, technological advances, changing pedagogy and societal shifts all affect our community. With this in mind, we set out our vision and supporting strategy, which we call CHS 2030. This has three focuses: Empower, Inspire & Sustain.
Within this, some of the highlights are:
We are working towards the Investors in Diversity accreditation to help us ensure our community is as welcoming and accepting as possible
We are working towards the Mental Health Award accreditation to help us improve the lives of our staff and pupils
We have developed a Green Plan, setting out how we minimise our impact on the environment
We are working towards the Planet Mark accreditation to demonstrate our commitment to the environment
We continue to develop and shape our internal development programmes
We strive to ensure that the employee voice is heard at the highest levels, in the belief that this leads to better outcomes
We aim to widen access to CHS by increasing our bursary provision to 1 in 6 students for the benefit of the wider community
