Message from Headteacher Philip Lidstone

Chipping Sodbury School is a mixed 11-18 comprehensive school. The school admits up to 180 students each year from the full ability range. We have a successful and vibrant sixth form, studying a broad and balanced curriculum.

I became Headteacher of the school in April 2004. I believe in a school that is happy and harmonious, where students have every opportunity to do their best. Our duty is to unlock the potential of each and every student at the school so that on leaving each one can take their place in society. I am very proud of the school and its hardworking students.

Our Specialist Technology School status allows us to support adult and community learning programmes. Besides being a Specialist Technology School, we have also been awarded a Healthy School Award, and a Sportsmark. As part of the Extended Schools initiative, we continue to seek opportunities to create partnerships with the community.
