Caroline Chisholm School
We Value Kindness
Building a community where everyone feels safe and valued. It teaches empathy, inclusion, and respect; qualities that underpin strong relationships and positive mental health. Kindness ensures that care for others remains central to all learning and behaviour.
We Value Curiosity
Driving a love of learning and discovery. It encourages children and young people to ask questions, think critically, and explore the world with open minds. A curious learner becomes a lifelong learner; adaptable, creative, and ready to face change.
We Value Integrity
Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. It fosters honesty, trust, and accountability; the foundation for strong character and good citizenship. It unites academic learning with moral development across every age group.
A Welcome From Our Head of Secondary
"I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to all our secondary students and families. Our secondary phase is comprised of a wonderful combination of students who have thrived in our primary phase, and fantastic students from other primaries - both from the local area and beyond. We are fortunate to be able to learn in, and celebrate within a richly diverse school community.
As Vice Principal, with responsibility for curriculum and assessment, my role is to ensure that every student benefits from a broad and inclusive curriculum whilst learning in an environment that is safe, calm, and respectful.
Secondary phase is an exciting time for academic and personal growth; we teach our students the CCS Way, where doing the right thing, in the right place, at the right time, ensures success for everyone. It's as simple as that!"
Elizabeth Husband, Vice Principal
A Welcome From Our Principal
“Welcome to Caroline Chisholm School. I am proud to lead a thriving all‑through community where every student, from our youngest in Reception to those in Sixth Form, is encouraged to grow in confidence, aim high, and feel truly supported. At the heart of our school are three guiding values: kindness, curiosity, and integrity. These values shape everything we do. We expect our students to do the right thing, in the right place, at the right time - demonstrating respect for others, a commitment to learning, and a strong moral compass in all aspects of school life.
I look forward to working with you and your family as we embark on this exciting journey together.”

In Their Own Words Testimonials
"Being part of an all-through school has been particularly beneficial for me, as it has allowed me to build lasting friendships and maintain connections with classmates over the years. "
CCS has given me so much more than just a great education. The school has actively supported me in pursuing external opportunities that are helping me grow and work towards my ambitions, including aspiring to a degree apprenticeship. Joining Model UN has been a real highlight too, sparking a passion for politics and debating that I know will stay with me. With so many extracurricular clubs on offer, there's truly something for everyone. If you're looking for a place that invests in you as a person, not just a student, then CCS is that place.
I have recently joined Caroline Chisholm School for Sixth Form in 2025. When joining this school, I felt very welcome and heard, my worries were taken onboard by the Sixth Form Team, and my teachers have also been a constant support for me as well. My learning has been expanded by my teachers, and my peers have been as equally kind too. CCS Sixth Form is an amazing environment for people joining the school as well as people who have progressed up the school. With the teachers, students and resources being an amazing standard, CCS Sixth Form is for everybody.
