READ WAT C H VISIT

AT CHORLTON HIGH SCHOOL

We have a commitment to a diverse and cutting edge range of enrichment activities and high quality opportunities outside of the usual curriculum. These activities are an important and exciting feature of school life and contribute enormously to our students’ academic, personal and social development.

Our aim is to develop learners who are confident, resilient, well-rounded citizens; that they understand the world’s communities and are ready to discover their place in it.

Please encourage your child to embrace the vast array of opportunities available to them at Chorlton High School by attending at least one extra-curricular activity, supporting their community pledge and extending their subject knowledge and passion in our Read/Watch/Visit enrichment offer.

If you have any questions or enquiries regarding extra-curricular please contact Ms Shale: (e.shale@chorltonhigh.manchester.sch.uk).

Each year group is assigned a different charity in response to the Manchester Youth Council Make Your Mark ballot and students are encouraged to raise awareness, fundraise and work as a school to support their local, national and global communities.
