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 is 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 is well qualified and the school supports them to share best practices so that our standard of teaching and support is both high quality and also continually developing.
Our aim is the pursuit of excellence for all. We strive for the development of individual potential in a stimulating and inspiring school that is at the heart of the local community. Cheam High School aims to create a welcoming and exciting learning environment where we:
- Provide a rich, diverse, and challenging education through excellent and innovative teaching and learning.
- Celebrate success, promote a "can do" attitude and inspire each to achieve their best.
- Support personal development, social responsibility, and a sense of self-worth
- Develop the attitudes and skills that support a healthy and fulfilled life together with the confidence for a lifetime of learning.
- Work as partners in learning with students, parents/carers, and the community.
- Provide a safe, supportive, and well-ordered environment where students and staff are happy and confident as they aspire to achieve.
The school offers a broad curriculum, with a range of extra-curricular activities making up an important part of what we provide. Cheam High School also has a variety of extra-curricular activities which are open to students of all ages and abilities.
At Cheam High School Sixth Form we provide the kind of experience that will allow all students to progress to either University, Apprenticeships, or Employment. Whilst our curriculum is vast and the teaching and learning outstanding, we are extremely proud of the support we provide for all students to achieve both their academic goals and ensure that they are happy. With a dedicated Sixth Form team of nine, any worries or concerns will be addressed whether academic or pastoral.
