Welcome to Lowton Church of England High School, a small, successful comprehensive school serving young people aged 11-16 in the Lowton, Leigh and Atherton communities. As a Church school everything we do is based on Christian values and is summed up in our mission statement, caring, learning and succeeding.
We are a caring school which genuinely values the importance of each individual student. This means that we are an inclusive community which listens to what our students have to say and recognises their rights as well as their responsibilities. We are a small school and we know our students well.
We are a learning school that places huge importance on high quality learning and the development of good learning habits that promote “Life-Long Learning” amongst all of our students. We are fully committed to preparing students for their future education and working life by instilling these good habits from their first day with us, to when they leave us to continue their learning journey.
Finally, we are a school that supports our students in succeeding, both academically and in ways which reflect their own unique talents and abilities.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about “The Lowton Family”. If you want to find out more, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Year 10 have been studying the Cold War. They are completing a cause and consequence ‘magpie’ task on different pieces of coloured card – collecting ideas from other members of the class - to help them with their assessment. By sharing ideas before attempting a piece of assessed written work it improves confidence. The answer bookmark strips also provide structure to their responses and allow students to start their writing knowing they are including the key skills that demonstrate their knowledge and understanding.
Year 8 have been studying the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. They shared their homework comparing life as a field slave and a house slave. The effort they put into the task was very impressive. Gallery marking, where students actively share and provide feedback on each other’s work is having a measurable positive impact on the quality of work produced.
Year 7 have been studying the Battle of Hastings. With coloured card, an upturned bowl for Senlac Hill, scissors, glue and a little imagination, they created props to enact the battle. They were fantastic and had clearly understood the chronology of the battle.
Well done to all of the following students who have been selected as the PE staff's Stars of the first Half Term!
Keep up the good work!
Mr McGuinness' Year 11 class have been investigating the effect of Carbon chain length on fuels.

We expect our students to have very high standards of behaviour, attainment and respect. We want them to be happy, ambitious and believe in themselves because once they do that anything is possible.
We believe in developing strong links between staff, parents and students.
By working together we can give your child the best possible education.
