Specialist School Status
From September 1st 2009 Astley Community High School is designated as a specialist school as part of the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust.Our chosen specialism is Mathematics and Computing/ICT. We are delighted to have gained this status. It is in recognition of the high standard of provision within those subject areas which now lead on raising the standards even further across the whole school.
It is particularly pleasing that the status is jointly shared with our Federation Middle Schools, Whytrig and Seaton Sluice. Such joint bids and designations are very much the exception rather than the rule. This is further recognition of the strength of partnership working between the schools. A plan for further progress can now be written which involves all three Federation schools, plus the partner First Schools in Seaton Valley.
