Description

Chesterfield High School is a school located in Crosby, Merseyside, England, specialising in sports and ICT and officially opened on 18 March 1974, with the first official academic year starting in September 1974. The school has an intake of roughly 1200 students in years 7–11.The school was founded as a comprehensive school formed from the amalgamation of Waterloo Park Grammar School for Girls at Haigh Road and the Crosby County Secondary School for Boys, at Coronation Road. There were 1174 pupils on roll upon opening, with a Sixth Form of 162 students, comprising 130 girls and 32 boys. The school has undergone numerous changes since first opening, the biggest of which was the amalgamation of the Annexe and its pupils into the main school at the Chesterfield Road site, along with the addition of The Mall and its associated redevelopments.HistoryThe AnnexeFrom the founding of the school up until the construction and opening of The Mall in 1996, the school resided on 2 separate sites, with the Chesterfield Road site being the main. The Annexe in some ways was a misnomer, which used the old Waterloo Park Grammar site. Pupils at the Annexe would refer to the main school at Chesterfield Road as 'the other school'. For them, it was Chesterfield High School for their first 2 secondary years until reaching their third year, at which point they moved over to the main site at Chesterfield Road. It was often claimed that the Annexe, although disliked by many staff as an administrative nightmare and the buildings considered substandard, was extremely important in the success of the school. Here, it was felt, pupils were able to find their feet in a homely environment and mix with others of the same age before being subjected to the rigours of bigger pupils. To a certain extent, this was only disproved as when the pupils did come on one site, as there did not seem to be much difficulty of this sort. However, at the time, there is no doubt that parents thought that this was the case and for many of them it was indeed an attraction for choosing Chesterfield's Annexe as their initial secondary home for their children.
