Pupils attend Weaverham High School from our partner primary schools Weaverham Forest, University Primary Academy Weaverham, Sandiway, Cuddington, Crowton, Norley, Aston-by-Sutton and Whitley. However, many of our pupils each year come from schools “outside our zone”, eg Hartford, Kingsmead, Northwich, Winsford and other nearby villages. These parents have actively chosen Weaverham High School as the school for their children.
How to Apply:
Making an application | Cheshire West and Chester Council

SIFs only need to be completed with an application if there is a parent who currently works at Weaverham High School, or if the child has a sibling living with them who is in the current year 11 or left year 11 in the most recent July.
