About Southlands High School
Southlands High School is an improving school. Our motto ‘Endeavour for Excellence’ demonstrates that we expect all stakeholders, staff and students to drive for the highest standards in everything they do. Southlands High School is striving to be ‘Better’ than ever before as a successful and inclusive school that works in close partnership with families and the community to achieve the best for our young people.
In December 2017, we were designated as a converter academy within the Mosaic Academy Trust with Standish High School and Golborne Primary School and look forward to going from strength to strength in our partnership. The Mosaic Academy Trust as an organisation seeks to value each and every member of the community and to become a family of schools that will welcome other schools and be a Trust whose chief aim is to become stronger as a whole than by the sum of its parts. We seek for our students to be Successful Learners, Confident Individuals and Responsible Citizens. The Trust has a Trade Union Recognition Agreement in place.
From our most recent inspection, in February 2024, the report highlights that we are highly ambitious for our pupils to achieve. We strive to meet the needs of the individual child so that they feel safe, secure and happy and enjoy their time at Southlands. We also aim to provide the highest standards of teaching and learning so that students are able to progress and fulfil their potential. We believe that every child should be given opportunities to develop their leadership skills as part of their growth and development in order to prepare them for adult life. Many of our students go on to be very successful in all aspects of life with a number attending some of the leading universities in the country. We are committed in our drive for academic excellence whilst offering a wide range of extra-curricular activities and opportunities so that our students can achieve educational success and develop fully as individuals.
We recognise that all students have the right to the highest quality education that will equip them with the qualifications they need to progress to college, university or their chosen career. Every decision we take to create our successful school comes from a firmly held staff belief that we can always strive to be ‘better’ than before.
The school was inspected in February 2024 and although our overall judgement remains as requires improvement we were graded as good for both behavior and attitudes and leadership and management. The report acknowledges that pupils are increasingly benefiting from the improvements that the school has made to the quality of education that they receive and highlights many of the positive changes that have taken place in the school. Our school priorities for 2024-25 clearly continue with our culture for improvement: improving student outcomes and the development of teaching, learning and assessment.
There are 934 young people on roll with the likelihood of growing close to 1000 in the coming years. The intake profile in both socio-economic and academic terms is that of a fairly typical comprehensive school.
At Southlands we are very proud of our caring school community and place great emphasis on high standards of behaviour and respect for all through our Southlands Standard.
Hopefully, this has inspired you to take a serious look at Southlands.
I look forward to receiving your application form.
