And another thing I find very good is this school is excellent for mixing people as for example I live in congleton and I could've gone to the two high schools they have there but as I have a small not severe percentage of dyslexia and autism we thought it was best I didn't go there as they do not at all have the same reputation as HCCS (Holmes chapel comprehensive school) and there ofsted reports are alot better than the ones in my town and there are bad stories of students not being in control and behaving badly at my local secondary schools. But at Holmes chapel they have an area called learning support at this school which allows people even with learning difficulties to come to a main stream school and not a complete special needs school which I think is a lot better for those people like myself a bit to come to a school like this becuase you can have access to the necessary help you need whalst still experiencing the life of a place with people who may not have those difficulties and it gets them prepared for the life after your education in the big wide world and to be ready for employment and getting on with everyone even if you don't like them as that's life and those are one of those key skills of life you need in order to get on which they teach you here!
