The school educates just over a thousand pupils including Sixth Form, with around one hundred teaching staff. The school's logo is an image of a cockerel, which is also used by the village of Dalston. The school's motto is 'aspire, believe, achieve.' It used to be 'While I live, I crow'. Caldew pupils take part in activities competing with pupils from other schools in the county in sports such as football, rugby and cross country running.

Caldew School converted to academy status on 1 August 2011.

Achievements

In 2013, Caldew was given a grade of "good" from Ofsted, the English education watchdog.[2] This was an improvement from the "satisfactory" it received the year before. Inspectors from Ofsted said Caldew's leaders have "pursued improvements with great determination." [3]

In July 2009, Caldew celebrated its 50th anniversary. It was founded in 1959, with a total of 300 students.[4]

Results

In 2016, all pupils sitting exams left the school with five GCSE passes or more.[5]
