Message from Gareth Millington - Headteacher

Welcome to Chipping Sodbury School.

Chipping Sodbury School is a vibrant and inclusive mixed 11-18 school set on the edge of the beautiful market town of Chipping Sodbury.

This is a school where every student is encouraged to achieve more than they ever thought possible whilst being supported and nurtured in a truly caring community. Students from year 7 to year 13 enjoy being here, work hard at their studies and are proud of their school.

Exam results are good with 78% achieving 5 GCSEs at C or above. OFSTED described the school as one where 'every child matters' - but we are never complacent and a dedicated and hard working staff seek constantly to improve outcomes for students of all ability levels. The school enjoys excellent relationships with highly supportive parents and we work hard in turn to support parents in helping their sons and daughters to be all that they can be.

Students here enjoy some excellent facilities, not least the brand new multi-­million pound sports hall, dance studio and floodlit artificial grass pitch that have just opened. Our status as a specialist technology college means students get access to high quality technical equipment in addition to their more traditionally academic subjects. Most of our students stay on after year 11 to join the fast growing and ambitious sixth form.

I am always delighted to meet prospective parents who wish to see the school 'in action' on a normal day or who wish to discuss any particular issues that they may have. Please do not hesitate to make an appointment should you wish to do so.

I do hope you will want to join our thriving community.
