“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
(Matthew 5:14-16 NIV)
The Governors and staff of Lowton Church of England High School are committed to the provision of a high quality education in a Christian context. We aim to provide a school where we can live out our ethos of Caring, Learning and Succeeding on a daily basis and let our light shine. At the heart of the commitment is the notion of the uniqueness and infinite worth of the individual, that every person is valuable in the eyes of God and that they are, indeed, the light of the world.
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.

Lessons in the Limelight - Mathematics with Miss Robb
Miss Robb’s Year 7 have been working out sequences. Looking at how to continue a sequence and how to find a general rule for a given sequence. Today we did a treasure hunt round the classroom on working out the nth term rule for increasing and decreasing sequences. Well done to Ashton and Oliver who were first to complete the hunt – fantastic work done by all!
Lessons in the Limelight - English with Ms Singleton
9X have been studying A Christmas Carol this term and this week they have been prepping for an Interim assessment on the characters of Scrooge and Fred. They worked extremely well during the assessment with everyone on task and using the notes they had made. This week we also introduced mini revision tasks to be done on whiteboards, these are linked to some of the poems we studied last term. Everyone came up with some brilliant answers on their whiteboards and showed they could remember when given some prompts!
Lessons in the Limelight - English with Ms Singleton
This is a group of pupils with their fantastic, authentic, shipwrecked homework. We had some very creative ideas including a letter in a homemade envelope, a letter including a wax seal and a message in a bottle!
It’s was our Year 7 netball team’s first ever round of fixtures tonight at Leigh Sports Village and what a start they made! The girls won all three of their games without conceding a single goal. The results were 7-0, 7-0 and 5-0. This means that the girls will be placed into division 1 where they will battle it out after Christmas against the other 5 strongest teams from tonight’s friendly games for the league title. Miss Hill is looking forward to seeing what the team can achieve! A special mention must go to Ruby G (x 2) and Grace G who were selected as ‘players of the match’ tonight. Well done girls!
