Information about the School
CCHS is a large, popular and inclusive 11-19 comprehensive school that sits in the heart of our
community. We operate across two sites, with colleagues teaching both at Walton Road (11-16)
and our sixth form college (16-19), Sigma Sixth, based at the Tendring Education Centre.
As a school we have very high expectations of our students in terms of their academic and
personal development. We strive to raise the aspirations of all our students to believe that, with
hard work and commitment, there should be no barriers as to what can be achieved. We want our
students to think big, dream big and become the very best version of themselves. A CCHS
education transforms lives and we are very proud of our students and our community.
Our PROUD ideals permeate the school. At CCHS students are encouraged never to give
up. They are expected to take responsibility for their actions whilst embracing the
opportunities on offer. We believe that together we are stronger, developing a sense of
community; school, local and global. We teach our students the importance of community
whilst accepting and respecting our differences and being open to the views and ideas of others.
Our school rules are simple, we expect every student to be: Ready, Respectful, Safe. Our behaviour
policy was devised by staff and students to ensure that it supports students to make good choices
and become the best version of themselves.
The curriculum at CCHS is thoughtfully considered and sequenced to ensure that all students are
supported with the acquisition of knowledge and the development of skills. We aim to ensure that
all students are prepared for their next steps and have a deep understanding of themselves so that
when they leave us they have the academic and life skills plus the confidence to move onto highly
aspirational careers and destinations.
Many of our students continue their post-16 studies at Sigma Sixth, our college. The college has
around 400 enrollments and is large enough to have a genuine college feel but small enough to
ensure that every student is known as an individual. There are over 30 subjects on offer to cater for
the interests and aspirations of all students alongside a great enrichment programme. The Sigma
Sixth experience is designed to allow our students to self-discover where they want to go and what
they want to be, they are the architects of their own futures. The Sigma Sixth tagline of 'Discover
Yourself, Define Your Future' reflects the entire ethos of our commitment to our students. Every
year we continue to be amazed and inspired by the careers and University destinations of our
college students.
At both CCHS and Sigma Sixth, we believe that our staff are the most important resource we have
to deliver a holistic education. Our CPD programme is designed to nourish staff and to enable them
to develop professionally and personally. Quite simply we believe that the more skilled and expert
our staff are, the more effectively they can educate our students.
