Whether you are an Old Waconian, a prospective parent, a current parent, a pupil or someone completely new to the school, may I welcome you to Cheadle Hulme School’s website? It is our hope that you will use the site to find out all that you need to know about us; our academic profile, curriculum, OW events, admissions processes, sports results, upcoming calendar events – it is all here.

The website also aims to capture the flavour of the school – to reflect its personality and vision through the news stories, the articles, the pictures and the reports. It is certainly a School that has much to be proud of.

As the new Head, it was the pupils who made the greatest initial impression on me on my first visit and made me want to be part of the School. I was impressed by their intelligence, their warmth, their pride, their honesty; they were keen to show off their school. They also made mistakes. One pupil told me very earnestly that lessons lasted for just 20 minutes. I double checked with him, knowing that lessons lasted 35 minutes; but he was adamant. I liked the way he defended his answer to me with earnest intent. It didn’t matter that he was wrong - what mattered was that when he realised his error, he was temporarily mortified and then saw the humour in it. We all make mistakes; it is the way we react when we see our errors that is the measure of a person. Beyond anything academic, as an ambassador alone for the school, this pupil was A*.

CHS is a co-educational day school, rooted in a proud Manchester history and continually looking to provide its pupils with the education that the modern world requires. We aim to foster the very best attributes in our pupils: endeavour, integrity, decency. Exams and outcomes matter, but equally important is what is learnt about how to work, how to grow and live with others, how to broaden ourselves.
