At The Appleton School, we value the inclusive history of the school, which stretches back to the establishment of the first comprehensive schools in Britain in the 1960s. This still provides an inspiration for us and sits alongside our absolute commitment to provide the best for our community in the 21st century. I am very proud to be the Headteacher of this Good school as recognised by Ofsted. The Appleton School is a mixed comprehensive school for students aged 11-18 which offers a fantastic opportunity for your child to learn and develop by nurturing individual excellence and providing the best possible foundations for adult life.

Through our high expectations and high quality teaching by excellent, professional staff, each student has the opportunity to enjoy their learning and achieve their personal best. They receive excellent careers support and guidance for their next steps and they have the chance to demonstrate responsibility and develop leadership skills whilst embracing modern British values.
