I am delighted to welcome you to Churchdown School Academy. The education we provide is guided by values of integrity, resilience, respect, ambition and friendship. These values are particularly important to us as we develop the students into lifelong learners and prepare them for a life beyond school.
We are an 11-18, non-selective academy where everyone, staff and students, strive to be the best they can be. Our aim is simple to achieve success for all . We are proud of our warm and welcoming community in which everyone participates to make a positive contribution. The language spoken is about aiming to be the best we can be.
Teachers are unrelenting and ensure there are no limits or barriers to student achievement. Students enjoy their school lives and are proud of their school. Every decision we make has the students best interests at the core. Wishing everyone in our Churchdown community a happy and healthy half term.
We look forward to seeing you all back on Monday 23rd February #ChurchdownSchoolAcademy #ChurchdownSchool #achievingsuccessforall #Gloucestershire #EducationMatters
