The first half-term ended on a high with our Celebration Evening where we recognise the many achievements of St.Chad’s students across all aspects of the school’s work. During my Headship we have always invited as our Guest of Honour, a former student of St.Chad’s, one of our alumni, to present the awards and to speak about how St.Chad’s prepared them for achieving great things in their chosen careers.

St Chad's High School and Sixth Form College have 12 students who are working as fully accredited journalists for Rugby League World Cup TV.  The students went through a training process with the Reporters’ Academy based at Media City before the half-term holiday and are now working at both the games and the post match production work at Media City in Manchester.

St.Chad’s is becoming a favourite visiting point for the media as they hear about the fantastic work going on. No sooner than BBC News filmed and broadcast an item about the remarkable achievements of staff and students in the teaching of Chinese at St.Chad’s and the global opportunities that it presents for students than ITV News arrived! The news team filmed the students and staff in their lessons, working towards achieving another set of record-breaking results.
