Whether you are a new parent or already have children at the school, We would like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome you to Caldew School. Caldew School has a rich history and an enviable reputation where students of all abilities flourish. We are a friendly and inclusive school with high aspirations for our students within our care. Our GCSE and A Level results continue to be strong and we place a high importance in equipping our students with the skills they will need for the world after school.

 

We look forward to welcoming you at our Open Evening where you can meet the Head Teacher, our staff and our students.

 

Deadline for applying for students starting secondary school in September 2025 is at the end of October and no preference is allocated by the Local Authority on places until after this date. Submitting a form before the October deadline does not assure you a place. All places are allocated by each school’s admissions policy (our policy can be found on page 12 of the prospectus).

There is a strong culture of safeguarding in place, with clear systems to record any concerns. Leaders keep safeguarding relevant to all members of the school community through regular updates, training, alerts and reminders.

An effective programme of personal development has been created for pupils in key stages 3 and 4. This prepares pupils well for their future, giving them opportunities to have important discussions about healthy relationships, social and moral issues.

Leaders have made significant progress in improving the school since the previous inspection. They have focused on creating a broad and ambitious curriculum which meets the needs of pupils and students, including those with special educational needs and /or disabilities (SEND).

Staff have high expectations for pupils’ and students’ behaviour and learning. Pupils and students behave well in lessons and around the school site. They are polite to each other and look out for others in the school.

Leaders provide effective careers guidance to pupils from Year 7 through to Year 13. Clear guidance, including preparation for interviews and ‘Work Ready Days’, helps pupils and students to make considered choices for their next steps.
