School profile

Chorlton High School

At Chorlton High School we are committed to providing high quality educational opportunities for our local community.

Our vision is based on the belief that creativity is a vital component of lifelong learning. We nurture creativity and imagination throughout the school curriculum to help students discover the world, solve problems and visualise the future. These skills are as relevant to the scientist and the mathematician as they are to the musician or designer.
