for Students

Last month, Winsford Academy was welcomed by the West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce as a new Young Chamber Member.

Established in 2010 following the amalgamation of two predecessor schools, Winsford Academy is an 11-16 mixed secondary school with academy status, based in a £20 million purpose-built facility in the heart of the Cheshire town. As the newest school to join the Young Chamber Program, Winsford Academy is now part of a programme that brings career-focused events to thousands of students each year. In the 2023/24 school year alone, the program engaged with over 2,500 students and continues to expand, offering valuable experiences that bridge the gap between education and employment.

Sarah Bailey, Chief Executive Officer of West Cheshire & North Wales Chamber of Commerce commented:

“We’re delighted to welcome Winsford Academy to the Young Chamber programme. Welcoming the Academy fills a geographical gap for the programme and will help to support students from Winsford and surrounding areas to learn the skills they need to succeed in the working world.”
