Head’s introduction

Lydia Naylor, Head Teacher of Middlewich School, Head Teacher of the Year, 2025

For me, Middlewich is a place where we work together to help every student succeed. Since joining, I’ve been inspired by the dedication of our staff and the strong sense of community.

We’re committed to providing an inclusive and supportive environment where every child can flourish. This is Middlewich, and I’m excited to share it with you.

A Student’s Perspective
Tia, Yr 8

Middlewich is where I feel like I belong. I’ve made great friends, discovered new interests, and the teachers are really supportive. There’s always something going on, and I feel like I can achieve my goals. Middlewich is a great place to be.

A Teacher's Perspective
Mr Coxon, PE teacher

Middlewich is where passion meets potential. It’s seeing students discover their strength, build teamwork, and push beyond limits. Whether it’s on the pitch or in the hall, we’re building confidence and character. Middlewich is about more than winning; it’s about growing, together.

An Alumni’s Perspective
Head Student, Sir John Deane’s Sixth Form College

I really enjoyed my time at Middlewich High School, especially Year 11 and the run up to GCSEs. The additional support sessions and communal aspect of learning really helped me to thrive.

I also loved all the opportunities outside of the classroom, especially sport, in particular football. We had some great school trips too, including a skiing trip to Austria in Year 10. I’m currently studying Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Further Maths at Sir John Deane’s. After Sir John Deane’s I would like to study for a maths degree at university and stay in academia.

I believe Middlewich High School helped to prepare me for A levels with skills like independence and curiosity, as well as assisting me to attain high GCSE grades to allow me to apply to top universities.
