SOCIAL RESPONSIBIILITY
In the Sixth Form, opportunities to make a meaningful difference increase as students take greater ownership of their time, interests and ambitions.
With time dedicated in the timetable, students are encouraged to explore causes they care about, research issues that matter and take action whether through volunteering, campaigning or leading initiatives in the local community and beyond. These experiences not only help develop skills that stand out to future employers and universities, but also set an example to younger pupils and uphold the legacy on which CHS was founded, to use what you have to help others who may have less.
SOCIAL IMPACT
We encourage pupils to build meaningful connections with people and causes beyond our school gates. We partner with local primary schools, charities, and organisations whose values align with our own, giving pupils the opportunity to volunteer, learn from others and make a tangible impact.
Through the House system, students raise funds for chosen charities and mark national and international awareness days, helping to develop their sense of responsibility and broadening their understanding of the issues facing communities both locally and globally.
WHOLE SCHOOL CHARITY
Our partnership with The Gambia began in 2010 when one of our teachers returned from a volunteering trip inspired to build a lasting connection between CHS and a school community overseas.
Since then, students have helped raise vital funds and taken part in life-changing visits to our partner school. For those who go, it’s a powerful experience that brings perspective, purpose and a deeper understanding of what it means to make a difference.
