Life at City High

A school that cares
The care of our students is first class, and the transitions from primary to secondary and from secondary to Further Education are well planned and supported. At Wakefield City High School “every person matters” and we are extremely proud of our reputation as a caring school.

A climate for learning
At City High we place great value on students respecting the environment and other people. Our code of conduct ensures that school is a safe and happy place for everyone to work in. Expectations of behaviour and appearance are high. We believe that students who take pride in themselves learn more effectively and achieve greater success. As governors, staff, parents and students we care about our school, our community, our environment and each other.

Our partnership with parents
Students who have the active support and interest of parents in their work are far more likely to be successful. We ask parents to support us and their child to ensure that they achieve their full potential. If you have any concerns about your child’s progress – whether academic or social – please contact the school.

“Attitudes to learning are good: the school is harmonious because all students are valued.”

Primary school links
We have excellent links with our feeder primary schools, which help to ensure a smooth transition for students into Wakefield City High School. Our induction programme for students in Years 5 and 6 includes taster days, visits to lessons and activities, attendance at extended school activities, a heritage project day, regular visits by staff to feeder schools and an extensive liaison programme.
