We offer a safe and happy community in which students work hard and enjoy learning. Our teaching stimulates and stretches students of all abilities to achieve their best.
The school is well-equipped, with suites of rooms for each subject: 9 science laboratories, 6 specialist networked computer suites, a business centre and 7 technology rooms.
The site is fully networked for computers, with over 300 workstations and computers being used extensively across the curriculum for students of all age groups.
The school also benefits from two drama studios, an arts hall and a music suite with music practice rooms. Productions and performances thrive at Chepstow. We have a large orchestra, choir, jazz and other musical groups. Each year we hold at least two concerts, a large stage production and two major student-managed charity concerts.
We also now have a video conferencing suite.
There is also a well resourced library, providing an impressive range of information and fiction books for students of all ages and abilities. It is run by two qualified librarians and is open from 8.15am to 4.15pm every day.
We are also able to offer individual tuition for a wide range of musical instruments.
A team of our Year 7 students have put together a website : www.thinkfootprint.org. The students have been exploring sustainability and the environment, as part of an on-going project. All contents and imagery has been generated by the Year 7 students who have been credited at the bottom of each page unless otherwise stated. The project title is "Sustainable Futures" and the website has been put together to let you know exactly what you can do, to live a more sustainable life and help protect the environment. We hope you find it informative.

The school works closely with our partner primary schools to help with the continuity of learning. We run ICT days, drama workshops and science road shows. English and maths have been specifically designed and planned with bridging units, which start in Year 6 and finish in Year 7. We also work jointly on sporting events, concerts and productions.
We are also proud to work in partnership with both parents and the community of Chepstow as a whole: we lead the singing as the lights are switched on at Christmas time in the centre of town; our school is active in Chepstow in Bloom; Senior citizens are invited to join us for all productions; local Veterans of World War II join us for our Remembrance Day Service and Churches Together in Chepstow run weekly meetings in school, leading assemblies and participating in mentoring of students. Some of our students' poetry can be found engraved in the pavements of Chepstow Town Centre.
