Carr Hill High School

I was apprehensive about sending my son to Carr Hill, however all my apprehension has been alleviated and since my child starting in September I only have positive things to say about the school. Under new leadership there have been real change already, in the school’s culture, the expectations of both students and teachers has been at the centre. After a shakey transition, my son is settled and thriving, thanks to the new head, the head of year 7 and his mentor. Everything is headed in the right direction and I would definitely recommend Carr Hill High School.

My daughter absolutely loves attending Carr Hill- she regularly comes home excited to tell me about her day, what she’s learnt and the exciting changes the new leadership team are making. I would recommend this school to others.

Absolute fantastic school. Since my child starting in September I can only say positive things about Carr Hill. It feels that under new leadership there is a real shift in the school’s culture with high expectations being at the core. The school has got an exciting future ahead with lots of positive changes for our children. My daughter is very settled and thriving. We could not ask for more as she starts her journey at high school.

Carr Hill High School is a fantastic school with a dedicated pastoral and management team who truly care about students’ well-being and success. The staff are supportive, approachable, and always willing to help. As a parent, I feel completely confident that my child is in a safe and nurturing environment. The school provides excellent opportunities for both academic and personal growth. I’m delighted with the positive experience my child has had and highly recommend Carr Hill High School!

Ever since our new headteacher took over, the school’s been getting way better. Teachers actually seem more into it, there are more cool activities, and even the rules make more sense now. The vibe is way more positive, and you can tell they actually want us to do well. Plus, some parts of the school are getting a much-needed upgrade. Definitely feels like a big step up!

The transformation of this school since September is nothing short of spectacular! The new Headteacher is dedicated to changing the culture for the students and the staff for the better.

a new head started this year and school is massively different. Pupils are happy coming to school and teachers are miles more personable.

New headteacher has made a big difference already, you always see him around school, he's changed loads already and given pupils a voice. Lessons clearly better and behaviour is really good now!

School has massively improved since the new head teacher, Mr Layzell, started in September. He has a strong track record and no doubt the school will flourish. Been very impressed with changes since September!

In the past, this school has faced its challenges. However, more recently, I have observed a remarkable transformation. With new staff and a committed head teacher, significant improvements are being made, positioning this school as a great place to be.

pretty rubbish school , no point in having it , useless , don’t recommend

I went into the school with a lot of bad expectations from other people but I have seen that the teachers are mostly nice but the main problem is the kids, so much of the kids are mean, disrespectful, disobedient and just bad students. It’s hard to focus because of other students behaviour and not a lesson goes by where at least 1 person doesn’t get a grade 3 or lower.
