About The Whitby High School

The Whitby High School is a mixed state secondary in Cheshire West and Chester, one of 21 schools of its type in the local authority. Among its peers in the area, it sits behind Bishop Heber High School, The County High School, Leftwich, and Upton-by-Chester High School in the local ranking. The school is led by headteacher Geraldine Fraser and educates pupils aged 11 to 18. It holds a Good rating from Ofsted, which places it in the majority of schools in the LA — only one school in the authority has achieved an Outstanding rating. The school has no religious character and serves a broad community within the borough.
