Challney High School for Girls is a school defined and inspired by the principles of Respect, Opportunity and Achievement. We aim to provide high quality education for over nine hundred girls aged 11-16. Luton is a multi-ethnic town of rich diversity and this is reflected in our school community. The multi-ethnic, multi-faith, multi-lingual backgrounds of our students make this a vibrant and exciting learning environment.

This is a good school (OFSTED 2010), having been awarded Beacon Status in 2002 and Specialist Status in 2006. Girls are encouraged to have high aspirations; the vast majority go on to further education or training in local colleges or sixth forms.

Behaviour is good; via the School Council and other means of 'volunteering' girls are encouraged to serve the school and the wider community. Peer mentoring and a paired reading scheme are evidence of the girls' involvement as is the large amount of money raised each year for charitable causes.


We have a good record of inclusive learning. The respect we have for each individual ensures we provide appropriate support so that everyone can achieve. Learning is enjoyable, focused and purposeful. Campus Luton now provides the focus for our collaborative work with other schools in the town to ensure appropriate courses are offered and provision is made for all learners.

The focus of our specialism is Science, specifically Science and Health with an emphasis on teaching and learning in Science and Maths. We are energised by the potential to raise standards, to work with the community and to improve the health and fitness of our students and partners. As the acquisition of Specialist Status coincides with the expansion of our vocational provision we have an ideal opportunity to make great improvements to our curriculum and to the opportunities for learning offered to students. We are committed to maintaining breadth and balance as entitlements within the curriculum for all, including those studying for diplomas in future years.

Respect, Opportunity and Achievement are the constants in our every changing situation. It is our aim to provide education of the highest possible quality, enabled by up-to-date and appropriate facilities, supported by the community in which we work and supporting our students, partners and the wider community for the benefit of the young people and adults of today and tomorrow.
