About The County High School, Leftwich

The County High School Leftwich is a fully inclusive, co-educational, 11-16 school with approximately 1040 students, 60 teaching and 60 support staff.  The school serves a mixed catchment area with a Published Admission Number of 210, and we are now significantly over-subscribed.

The school is a safe and calm, inclusive and positive community and workplace. Students enjoy and achieve during their time at this school. They leave as rounded individuals, aware of the wider-world, ready to make a positive contribution and fully equipped to flourish having maximised their academic potential. The school strives to ensure that colleagues are motivated, happy, supported and derive satisfaction from their role.

 Leaders promote a strong culture of safety and vigilance throughout the school. Staff receive comprehensive training on safeguarding. They know what to do if they have any concerns about a student’s welfare or safety. The Safeguarding policy can be found here:

 We believe that an Academic Curriculum is an opportunity for and expectation of all our students, further enriched by opportunities beyond the timetable. The school’s curriculum endeavours to develop students':

· Comprehension and command of knowledge and skills
· Character
· Creativity and imagination

 Our broad, balanced and enriched curriculum promotes the enjoyment of learning, motivating students to gain the knowledge, skills and qualifications enabling them to realise their potential and thus exercise choice and control in their personal and working lives.  We believe that every student’s experience of success contributes to their personal happiness. 

 The school prides itself on a sustained reputation for outstanding academic performance in a proudly inclusive learning environment. We provide a wide range of subjects so that our students have every opportunity to follow their passions and enjoy and achieve. At the heart of our Key Stage 4 curriculum is a strong academic core as defined by the Science Baccalaureate suite of subjects.

 In 2022 over 90% of students studied the EBacc, achieving a Progress 8 score of +0.54 for all students which is ‘well above average’. The GCSE results of 2023 will sustain this when published, and maintain the consistently impressive outcomes from 2016 to 2019: In 2019 the school achieved a Progress 8 score of +0.80 for all students.  In 2022, the school was presented with the Cheshire Guardian’s ‘School of the Year’ Education Award for its relational practice with students and its focus on ‘supporting students to become rounded individuals, ready to make a positive contribution to the wider-world’ which underpins our outstanding outcomes and our commitment to ensuring all students achieve their academic potential.

We are nearing the completion of a £2.4m project, which has created a new entrance, reception area and 4 additional classrooms. As part of this project, we have modernised four internal classrooms, creating a Drama Studio, a Physics lab and a new Library. The project also includes enhanced outside sporting and social facilities. The project is being funded by the Local Authority and a significant contribution from The Sir John Brunner Foundation.

The school was approached by the Local Authority to increase our PAN from 195 to 210 due to the consistently high demand for places at The County High School Leftwich. The new build facilitates the increased PAN, enabling us to continue to deliver our outstanding curriculum offer even with an increased number of students.
