Hartford Church of England High School is a voluntary aided Church of England secondary school on Neot Road in Hartford, Cheshire. The school has dual specialist college status in both languages and sports and it also performs to an above-average standard, particularly with ‘outstanding’ achievement in physical education and above-average attainment at GCSE.
Description[edit]
Situated in Hartford, Cheshire, Hartford High School educates students from the local villages of Barnton, Greenbank, Castle, Winnington, Weaverham, Cuddington and the local town, Northwich. The school can cater for 1,050 students from the age of eleven through sixteen.[1] The school is a split-site school, with the two main buildings being the old 'West Building' and a new replacement building on the West site. In addition to the two main buildings, there is a Science & Administration Building on the East site and Music and Art Blocks on the West site.
On 20th and 21th June 2023, OFSTED inspected school and concluded it's overall effectiveness rating as 'Good', including such categories as 'quality of education', 'behaviour and attitudes', 'personal development' and 'leadership and management'.[2]
History[edit]
The school was founded in 1978 by merging two single-sex schools under the name 'Hartford High School'. The school became a voluntary aided Church of England secondary school at the end of the 2012 academic year. In this process, the school motto was changed to "Caritas et veritas" (love and truth), and the logo had a representation of a cross added to it.[3]
Until the end of the 2019 academic year, the school was a split-site school, with the two main buildings being the 'West Building' and the 'East Building'. Located approximately 200 metres apart, the two buildings were linked by a secure path for students, separate from public realm areas. The 'East Building' has been replaced with a £7m new building on the West site.[4] Upon demolishing the 'East Building', the school is now in one place except for the small Science & Administration Building on the East side.
