A message from the Headteacher Firstly, thank you for your expression of interest in our school. I hope, like my first visit to the school, you are struck by its heritage, its calm and warm welcome and the sense that our students live our values of Respect, Responsibility and Readiness. As the Headteacher from September 2023, I am impressed with the welcome that the staff, students and community have afforded me, one we hope you get to experience too. As a school, we serve the needs of our local community and wish to remain at the heart of Stalybridge. We have a beautiful school site and our grounds could be mistaken for a grammar school, but as a Single Academy Trust we serve the needs of our students from Ashton, Dukinfield, Mossley and Stalybridge alongside smaller schools within the Peak District. We have maintained our strong connection with our past and the heritage of our site, alongside our looking and growing to the future. We are a homely community with many staff investing their lengthy teaching careers with us due to the respectful climate we maintain, alongside many staff living locally, invested in making our community the best it can be. We believe it is our duty to ensure teachers can teach in a calm and purposeful learning environment and our behaviour, and the student responsibility over their behaviour, is a strength. Not only this, but we heavily invest and value our student leadership opportunities to bring learning to life. We believe in developing the character and resilience of our learners and remain passionate about our curriculum offer both inside and outside the classroom. Why West Hill? As a school community the needs of our students and bettering their life opportunities remain at the heart of what we do. We value our staff voice and staff opportunities to learn and grow in the same way we want to nurture our students. We trust our staff to ‘do what makes sense’ and our staff rise to this trust and respect. Our site has easy commutable links to the Peak District but also to other districts in Greater Manchester and the city centre itself (accessible via train or tram in around 20minutes). We are a community of staff that enjoy working together and welcome new members to our team and social events. We value an opportunity-based curriculum and wish to work to better our community and show our boys how they can too. We have supportive parents who send their boys here due to our strong reputation of excellence. As an 11-16 school with 170 students per year group, we are an ideal size to really get to know our boys and help them on their journey through school. Our passionate pastoral and teaching teams do this incredibly well. Even if you have not worked in a single-sex school before, come and see us, walk our building and get a sense for the greatness that exists here. This is a special place and I am incredibly proud to lead us forward in our next adventures forward, I hope you join us in this. Kind regards, Claire Cronin Headteacher
