Chesterfield High School
About Chesterfield High School
Chesterfield High School sits within Sefton, a local authority where no secondary school currently holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating, making its Good judgement a solid benchmark in the area. Among the 20 state secondaries in the borough, the school competes with Formby High School, Range High School, and Meols Cop High School as its closest peers by ranking. With 1,628 pupils on roll, it is a large mixed 11-18 school led by headteacher Jon Lawes. The school has no religious character and operates as a standard state-funded secondary, drawing families from across the Sefton catchment. Its position in the local landscape is defined by this size and its consistent Good rating, which places it in the majority of Sefton schools rather than among the small number of top-ranked peers like Formby High.
