Cheam High School
We are very proud of our school and the children and young adults that study here. Our students are excellent ambassadors for the school. They develop into confident and articulate young adults who are committed to preparing for their future career and study choices. Examination results show their excellent progress. We have a high number of students who choose to stay on in the sixth form whilst others secure appropriate courses or apprenticeships with a vocational focus. At Post 16, approximately 200 students progress to university each year.
Our staff are dedicated to providing students with excellent support to thrive at school. This relates to academic progress as well as extracurricular experiences and pastoral care. Our staff are well qualified and the school supports them to share best practice so that our standard of teaching and support is both high quality and also continually developing. Ofsted reports and other reviews of practice, together with our examination results, can all be found in the Performance areas of the website.
