Thank you for your interest in this post. I would like to wish you a warm welcome to Queen’s Park High School, an academy within The Learning Trust, beautifully located to the south of the River Dee in the heart of Chester. We work in partnership with Christleton High School, Chester International School (CIS) and Belgrave Primary School to serve young people, to educate, enlighten and give them the expertise and confidence to succeed. More information about The Learning Trust can be found at https://www.tltrust.co.uk.

Our expectations in terms of achievement and behaviour are very high. If our students are to reach their full potential as responsible citizens, we believe there has to be a culture of mutual respect, honesty and understanding; a culture which is at the heart of our school community.

We have hard-working and committed staff, who regularly go above and beyond to ensure that all our students enjoy their learning, feel safe and are able to achieve to their full potential. In 2024, we were thrilled to be named ‘Secondary School of the Year’ at the Excell Standard Education Awards! This incredible achievement celebrates the unique culture of our school and the exceptional dedication of our staff.

In February 2025 we received our second full inspection as an academy since our conversion back in 2017. We are extremely proud that we are officially rated as a ‘GOOD’ school in all categories. Whilst we felt very strongly that this was the case, this judgement brings welcome recognition and validation of all the hard work which has taken place across the school over a number of years. 

Our school is brimming with the potential for future excellence. This is an exciting time to join Queen's Park High School and a great opportunity for someone who wants to engage in A-level teaching. As our journey of success includes a large growth in student numbers, I am looking for staff who want to join us during this exciting period of growth as we strive to become an ‘outstanding’ school.
