Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School

My vision for this School is to make Chislehurst and Sidcup Grammar School the very best place for a young person to grow up. To achieve this it is essential that I meet three key targets.

Firstly to ensure that all students are safe and feel safe at all times. Safeguarding is a priority at this school. Secondly that students are happy and ready to learn. Finally that all students maximise their academic potential to enable them all to achieve their goals in life. Clear and committed professional advice and guidance is part of daily life for the students on their individual pathways to their chosen university, apprenticeships or employment. 

The education that CSGS offers develops its pupils intellectually, emotionally and physically. The ingrained idea of excellence in school life allows pupils to reach the highest academic, sporting and cultural standards. The special quality of learning in the classroom is equally matched by the richness of teaching that students experience beyond the school site. 

Whilst healthy competition is central to the CSGS ethos, there are also many opportunities for pupils to enter into the wider life of the school. Service to the school and community is enthusiastically performed and high levels of leadership and responsibility are actively taken on by pupils at all levels. The curriculum has been carefully designed with pupils learning at its heart. 

Our alumni includes many national and international leaders in their chosen fields of excellence.
