Headteacher's Welcome & Values

Dear Parents, Carers, Students and Friends,

I wish you a warm welcome to Tarporley High School & Sixth Form College. Tarporley High School is an excellent 11-18 school at the heart of a rural Cheshire community that extends between Chester to the west and Nantwich to the east. Our school vision is “Aspire, Learn, Achieve”.

Our aim is to provide the very best learning and personal development opportunities for every young person in the communities that we serve. Our teaching and support staff are highly qualified, very skilled, and together share the strongest dedication to ensuring that all our students are safe, wholeheartedly enjoy their learning, and achieve to their full potential. My priority as Headteacher is for every student to enjoy excellent teaching and pastoral support, to be valued and respected as an individual, and to play a full and active part in school life.

The day-to-day atmosphere of our school is warm, friendly, orderly and purposeful. We are keen for all our students to develop as confident, responsible and considerate individuals who excel and make a lasting contribution within and beyond their school life. We are extremely proud of their outstanding achievements in all walks of life.

Our partnership with parents and carers is very important to us, and we will work closely with you throughout your child’s time with us to nurture their aspirations, their learning and their achievement. I hope that our website will inform you, inspire you and give you a taste of the very special qualities of our school. Prospective students and their families from our locale are invited to attend our open events during the year either for entry to Year 7 or to Sixth Form. Families moving to the area who are considering our school should contact us for advice about admissions.

Kind Regards

Jonathan Deakin

Headteacher

Our Values

Aspire, Learn, Achieve

Aspire, Learn, Achieve is a cycle that underpins all our learning both in and out of the classroom.  Students aspire to betterment, we help then learn and their achievement opens the door to the next step or destination.

Our School Rules and Values

• We are safe and act responsibly
• We respect ourselves, each other and the school community.
• We are ready to learn and make progress.
• We demonstrate kindness to one and another.
• We make a positive contribution and offer the best representation of ourselves and our school

Community and Learning Values

Our community values are the foundation of our high expectations of conduct but moreover make it clear how students can represent the best of themselves.

Our learning values combine with the community values to signify what we value from learning and are introduced as the ‘Roots of Success’ during transition.

This student version sits above our lesson grades descriptors which are the student-facing version of our expectations.  Underpinning all of this are our inclusive teaching principles.
