A School Transformed

Carr Hill High School and Sixth Form Centre is a school transformed. Talented and hard working staff and students have worked together, with parents, to produce record breaking results in 2009.
Our Year 7 to 11 students belong to one of six Colleges and a mentor group where different ages mix together. We have a new, smarter uniform.
Every Thursday afternoon in school time our students participate in a massive range of extra-curricular activities, with older students encouraged to develop independent study skills before joining our Sixth Form.
We provide continuous professional development to our teaching staff. Teachers actively coach each other to improve learning in their lessons.
Our students help make the big decisions. We have a fantastic new Sixth Form Centre and school Dining Hall, and our Sixth Form is expanding.

GREEN fingered Carr Hill students are digging deep after winning 100 trees to be planted in the school grounds.

And the youngsters have wasted no time by using the trees to create an outdoor classroom and to block noise from the busy A585 running alongside the school grounds.

Science technician Mrs Pearson, who runs the Eco Council, won the 100 trees, which include Oaks, Field Maple and Rowan, in a competition run by Burscough-based company Mahood Trees.

Mrs Pearson said: “We are delighted to have won these trees. The Eco Council is still relatively new at Carr Hill but we are all having a great time raising green issues around school, such as improving recycling, and the students are really working hard to improve the school grounds.”

12 members of the Eco Council planted the trees with the help of Deputy Head Mrs Winstanley and Mrs Pearson.

Mrs Winstanley said: “The Eco Council is working extremely hard to improve the Carr Hill environment so I am delighted they have won these trees. They will obviously have a huge impact on the aesthetics of our grounds while also helping the environment.

“We are very proud that Carr Hill students are conscientious about such issues and want to do what they can to help.”

Mahood Trees has donated 100 trees to one school in each borough of Lancashire to mark the company’s one hundredth anniversary. Carr Hill won the award for Fylde.
