Welcome

Welcome from the Headteacher

Welcome to Cheslyn Hay Academy, an excellent school striving for all of our community to unlock their academic and personal potential. We pride ourselves in being one of the best schools in our area whilst remaining very much at the heart of our community.

An exceptional place for young people to learn, grow and develop

Since joining the Windsor Academy Trust in 2018, our school has gone from strength to strength. We have strong and improving results year on year, the range of extracurricular activities has grown significantly and our site and facilities are being revamped, developed and expanded with a significant focus on sustainability and meeting our ‘Net Zero’ target by 2030.. 

We are rightly proud of the incredible work of our students, staff and whole community in making this a truly exceptional place for young people to learn, grow and develop.

At Cheslyn Hay, we believe that all students in our community deserve the very best start in life. Our excellent team of staff strive daily to make sure that they have the very best opportunity to do just that. For many years we have had a strong reputation for achieving high academic standards and for ensuring our students can be happy and safe.

A broad curriculum with outstanding extracurricular opportunities

Cheslyn Hay Academy offers an academically broad education supported by an incredibly rich extracurricular programme based around our student pledge. This pledge is a set of twelve challenging experiences for students to achieve and excel at before they leave school. This combination of academic and extracurricular activities prepares our students for the next step in their education and on into their future careers.

Windsor Academy Trust is one of the country’s most innovative and progressive trusts, deliberately putting teaching and student experience at the very centre of all of our development work. 

The success of this approach is clear and ensures that we have the capacity to grow and improve long into the future. Our collaboration with the Trust makes us an employer of choice in the region and ensures we give our students the best experience possible.
