Head teacher's Introduction

[http://media.wilmslowhigh.com/Images/Thumbnails/Welcome.png]

Welcome to the Wilmslow High School website.

We aim to provide opportunities to enable all students to learn in a caring supportive environment. In becoming successful learners we want all our students to develop a love of learning, to recognise that learning is a lifelong activity and that the skills they acquire and develop are transferrable.

We hope you enjoy the website, can find out what you want and gain a more detailed insight into what Wilmslow High school is all about.

Gill Bremner, Headteacher (Read the full introduction)

External examinations contingency plans

In the event that the weather causes disruption during the January examination period we will ensure that all external examinations go ahead even if the school has to be closed to other students, unless there is an emergency. In the event of an unavoidable school closure, students due to take examinations should still come to school unless the messages via local radio and the website specifically state that examinations are cancelled. Students should set out in good time to arrive at school by 8.30am for morning examinations and 1pm for afternoon examinations.

Examination boards will not allow any special consideration for students who are unable to get to school for January examinations.

Gill Bremner, Head teacher

We are proud of our sixth form and the contribution it makes to the life of the whole school community.
