OUR INTENT

At Chertsey High School we are committed to providing high quality educational opportunities for our community. Our vision is based on the belief that a rich and an aspirational knowledge led curriculum is a vital component of life. We nurture academic success alongside creativity and imagination throughout the school curriculum to help learners to secure the knowledge, skills and personal qualities they will need for future success. Chertsey High School is built on and driven by core values and we are committed to enabling all of our learners to become:

• Develop positive, secure relationships so that they flourish and have a powerful sense of their own potential.

 

To enable them to flourish, a learner’s time at Chertsey High School is mapped out. This is in order for them to see the pathway they will follow, the goals they need to work towards and achieve and the success which will be theirs at the end of the journey. This journey is mapped out in a number of ways:

• The subject specific knowledge of each curriculum area that they will cover is planned out and documented in the Framework for Learning.
• The strands of the personal, social, physical, spiritual, moral and cultural education which are threaded through the academic and pastoral curriculum and are plotted in The Chertsey Curriculum.
• The Chertsey High School Personal Development Learning Journey which is a progression model for building the development of our learners and prepares them for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.
