Bridgewater High School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form, located over two sites in Appleton, Warrington, Cheshire. The current Principal is Tim Long, with Tracey Hatton and Keiron Powell as Headteachers.
The school was formed in 1987 by the amalgamation of Appleton Hall County Grammar School and Stockton Heath County High School. Appleton Hall became the new school's Lower Site, while Stockton Heath (known locally as Broomfields after the attached leisure centre) became the Upper Site.
The school previously held specialist Arts College status with additional specialisms in Science and Maths. It consistently achieves good GCSE results. The most recent OFSTED inspection judged the school to be Outstanding.
The school converted to academy status on 1 December 2014.
The school also has an attached sixth form, called Appleton College, which recently received the highest average A-Level results in Warrington. The 6th Form has approximately 100 pupils over years 12 and 13, made up mainly of ex-pupils of Bridgewater High School, although pupils from other secondary schools are welcome. The entry requirements are 5 GCSEs grades A*-C. The head of 6th Form is currently Theo Lambrianides.
The uniform is a white shirt, grey trousers or skirt, navy blazer with school badge attached and correct tie, differing per year group. Optionally, a navy blue cardigan or sweatshirt can also be worn. The compulsory P.E kit is a blue polo shirt and blue shorts for gymnastics, cross country and football, and royal blue rugby shorts and a blue and red long sleeved top for rugby. Girls may wear gymnastics shorts or skirts for netball.
Unlike most schools which have a "lunch hour", Bridgewater High School gives pupils only 35 minutes for lunch. However, this results in a school day which ends before many other local secondary schools. Lessons are one hour long and followed by a 5-minute "movement period" to allow pupils sufficient time to reach their next classroom. These movement periods also occur after each break.
