Cheadle Hulme Primary School bid
What are we proposing and why?
Cheadle Hulme High School, part of the Cheadle Hulme Education Trust, is an over subscribed and highly successful secondary school, ranked ‘Outstanding’ in every category in its last Ofsted report and described in that report as
‘an outstanding learning community where second best for anyone simply will not do’.
We have recently extended our provision by successfully bidding to open a Sixth Form on site. We are now proposing to respond to the demand for additional primary places in the area and build on the success of the 11 – 18 school by opening a primary school – Cheadle Hulme Primary School – with the support of Stockport Council.
Our commitment is to extend the ‘outstanding learning community’, provide a continuum of excellence and in so doing respond to local needs.
What can we offer?
As in the 11 – 18 school, we will deliver the National Curriculum within our ‘Cornerstones’ framework – ensuring that every child has access to the key areas of :
Academic Aspiration - Our academic curriculum will be sufficiently broad to ensure that the needs and talents of all children are recognised and developed. Our vision is to have all Maths, MFL and Science teaching delivered by specialists. As a Teaching School, we are at the cutting edge of pedagogy. We will adopt models which are both traditional and with a proven record of success and which will ensure the same level of academic excellence as is achieved in the secondary school.
Culture and Creativity - It is never too early to invest in cultural capital. We will provide a wide programme of extra curricular enrichment activities but will not simply relegate this area to ‘out of hours’ activities. Music, Art, Drama and Dance will be incorporated into the curriculum, utilising state of the art facilities in the High School.
Leadership and Service - Our experience in our 11 – 18 school leaves us in no doubt as to the value of giving children the opportunity to take responsibility and contribute to their community. We will make posts of responsibility available via a House System and subject/club/team representation. Similarly, children will be encouraged to take part in community based activities.
Competition and Physical Endeavour - We will ensure that our curriculum incorporates not only physical exercise but also a Health Education programme which promotes ‘Healthy Body, Healthy Mind’ and which involves parents and carers in helping their children to make positive lifestyle choices.
Our Vision is that every child, regardless of background and
circumstance, will flourish, enjoy their education and succeed.
Their experience at primary school will pave the way for success at
secondary school and beyond and will ultimately open the door to
the future of their choice.
Why do we need your support?
As our case for opening a Primary school will be presented to the Department of Education, we must demonstrate that parents who have children due to start primary school in 2016 or 2017 would make Cheadle Hulme Primary School the first choice for their children.
