 Chorlton High School is a centre of excellence for the arts in Manchester, we became a Specialist School for the Arts in 2002, allowing us to provide high quality arts education for both students and the local community and to transform the lives and achievements of young people in Chorlton. The educational experience in Chorlton High has been vastly enriched through our commitment to bringing the arts into the daily lives of our students. E-space
provided us with a suitably spectacular piece with which to open
our new theatre, the Blue Box Theatre. Since then the Maurice Gibb
Recording Studio has been opened by his brothers Robin and Barry,
and we have begun to produce our own CDs under the Blue Box label.

Students
have been given more opportunities to achieve through the provision
of a wide range of qualifications in the performing arts and additional
changes in the curriculum. After school they can take part in art
clubs ranging from the Strings Orchestra to the Urban Dance Collective,
developing personal skills, self-confidence and creativity. This
work has been highly influenced by CAPEUK/NOF projects which have
had an impact, not just arts activities but across the hundred weekly
activities that make up our out of hours provision, including a
crafts club, samba, boxing and capoeira.
