Headteacher’s Welcome

Wakefield City High is a Leading Edge Lead School, Specialist Maths and Computing College and an accredited advanced mentor school for the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust.  Recently the school has been granted Foundation Trust Status and has been awarded the privilege of becoming a High Performing Specialist School (HPSS).

 

Over the past five years, our GCSE results have improved at a much faster rate than the National Average.  The DfES Value Added measures of progress from KS2 to KS3 and KS3 to KS4 are very high and place the school in the top five percent of schools nationally.

Central to our high levels of achievement are a positive ethos, good behaviour, hard work and high rates of student participation. We seek to promote a genuine partnership between home and school, based on mutual trust and respect, and we operate an open-door policy where parents are always welcome.

I hope this prospectus gives you a flavour of life in the school and I very much look forward to meeting you in the near future.

Alan Yellup, Headteacher
