CHHS was judged Outstanding in every category by Ofsted in 2011 and 2015.

In the 2024 KS4 Progress 8 Headline measure, CHHS came in the top 5% of non-selective schools nationally. We are delighted with the performance of the class of 2024’s GCSE results; a fantastic 45% of all GCSE grades were 7 or above. 71% of students achieved 5 and above and 85% achieved grade 4 and above in both GCSE English and Maths, making this the best set of GCSE results the school has ever seen which is even more impressive given the return to pre-pandemic grading.

In 2023 the progress of our disadvantaged students was Progress 8 +0.3, the national figure is -0.55. Our disadvantaged students make more progress than their non- disadvantaged peers nationally.

In 2024 CHHS has once again bucked the national trend with 70% of all A Level grades at A*, A or B, a further increase on last years incredible results. A fantastic 43 (30% of the cohort) received 3 or more A* and A grades, with a fabulous five achieving all A*s. In addition, 42% of students achieved at least AAB in facilitating subjects, and fifteen students gained competitive places either to study at Oxford or Cambridge, or to read Dentistry or Medicine at university.

We are delighted that CHHS is regularly named as one of the UK’s top-performing schools in The Sunday Times annual Parent Power Surveys and this year, we were awarded ‘Northwest Comprehensive School of the Year 2024’. We are also extremely proud to have been selected as one of the first schools in England to become a lead Language Hub in the governments £15 million languages reboot. The aim of the network is to spread best practice in languages teaching to other schools and boost exam entries. The offer will give students aged 14-18 the opportunity to study German, Spanish and French through to Key Stage 5.

CHHS became an 11-18 school in September 2013, with approximately 1700 students on roll. Our dedicated Sixth Form Centre opened in September 2014. We are the founder school of a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) with an outstanding academic record.

The professional learning opportunities in school and beyond enable staff to engage in various internal communities of professional development.

The successful candidate would be expected to teach a range of classes across KS3 & KS4.

While this role is initially offered as maternity cover, the opportunity for a permanent position may arise depending on the continued growth and future needs of the school, as the school has experienced significant and continuing growth over a number of years.

This post is suitable for ECTs and experienced teachers. The post is initially offered as a full 12-month contract. A physics specialism would be advantageous, however there is sufficient expertise and flexibility in the department to allow all specialisms to apply with equality of opportunity.

The current postholder will still be in post in January so there is an opportunity for a phased introduction into the timetable allowing ample time to plan and prepare and allow for a seamless handover with the current postholder and new Director of Learning for the science department.
