It is with great pride that I welcome you to Great Sankey High School.

As Headteacher, my aim is that Great Sankey High School offers the opportunities and security your children need to be able to achieve their full academic and personal potential. I want everything that we do to be driven by a commitment to provide our students with the highest standards of teaching and learning. In return, we have very high expectations of student behaviour and their commitment to their learning. Great Sankey staff lead by example so that mutual respect, cooperation and tolerance are the cornerstones of school life.

As a school we are very proud of the young people in our care and their academic and personal successes. Our staff are dedicated to helping each child achieve their full potential and work determinedly to promote the effective partnerships that are forged amongst parents, teachers, children and the community we serve. The community is extremely important to me. The people of Great Sankey and Warrington have every right to have a school that aspires to be truly outstanding at the heart of the community.  I am keen to develop close links and partnerships with local primary schools, businesses and industry and community groups. 

The move from Primary to Secondary can be difficult and is a vital time in a child’s life. We work hard, in partnership with local primary schools, to make that transition as smooth and successful as possible.  Choosing the best school for your child is an extremely important decision. You need to be sure that, in addition to a sound education, your son or daughter will be cared for in a happy and safe environment. We offer outstanding opportunities essential for personal, intellectual, emotional and social growth and provide a huge range of extra-curricular and enrichment opportunities. On our website we offer you an insight into some of the opportunities available to your child at Great Sankey High School.

Great Sankey High School provides a friendly, caring, creative and purposeful learning environment. We are delighted to welcome visitors into our school, so if you would like to learn more about the life and work of Great Sankey High School, please do not hesitate to contact us.
