Christleton High School is a large academy school located in the small village of Christleton on the outskirts of Chester. Its current headmaster is Damian Stenhouse who is temporarily serving as headteacher until a suitable candidate is found. The school has specialist status in Maths and Computing with Business and Enterprise. It has its own sixth form and so offers A-Levels, amongst many other qualifications.
The current uniform for the school consists of a white shirt (or polo shirt during the summer term with the school crest), grey or black trousers or skirt, a tie, with blue, red and gold stripes (optional during the summer term) and a navy blue sweatshirt with the school crest. The sixth form have a more relaxed uniform, consisting of - for males - a top with collar (shirt or t-shirt) and any trousers excluding tracksuit bottoms, and for females - a sleeved top (that covers the shoulders) and any trousers or skirt again excluding tracksuit bottoms. Both sexes cannot wear tops with large logos or writing, or clothing that is obtrusive or impractical.
On site is Christleton Sports Centre, run by BRIO and formerly by Chester And District Sports And Recreation Trust (CADSART). The facilities include a sports hall, gym, squash court, dance room and a large outdoor floodlit court (suitable for tennis and football). A new Olympic sized swimming pool has recently been built. Pupils at the school are free to use these facilities either as part of their Physical education lessons or during breaks in lessons.
