From the Longdendale High School
After holding the Inclusion Quality Mark for some time, we just received the designation of a national Flagship School for Inclusion. We are proud of our wonderfully inclusive practises.
We work together with families to promote each student's development, learning, and advancement, and we are grateful that our efforts have been recognised with the Leading Parent Partnership Award.
The school's ongoing success is a result of our high standards for our dedicated faculty members and our students' great learning, as well as the proactive support of families.
Our most precious asset is our student body, and they contribute so much to the institution.
A team of student leaders works with each year group to make sure that the student voice is heard and that it has an impact on our school's future development.
By enrolling your kid in Longdendale High School, you make a commitment to collaborating with us to provide them with the best possible educational opportunities.
Because of the shared staff knowledge and the opportunity to participate in extracurricular and athletic events, being a part of a Trust of schools gives our children a stronger advantage.
Our innovative Aspiration and Enrichment curriculum was developed in partnership with Ashton Sixth Form College.
The employees and students at Stamford Park Trust have greater opportunities to develop and thrive because to their network-wide collaboration.
At Longdendale, academic courses are clearly valued, with a focus on the growth of independent learners and their literacy and numeracy skills in particular.
Our pupils must be given the chance to discover their interests and talents.
Being a part of our school and the Stamford Park Trust at this time is fantastic.
Longdendale High School will join Stamford Park Trust, a multi-academy trust that includes Ashton Sixth Form College, in January 2021.
Every student, from year 7 to year 11, will have access to exceptional and one-of-a-kind possibilities to collaborate with Ashton Sixth Form and its university partners to support them in realising their goals and potential.

You have to wait 2 years for an appointment to see the head teacher. That's if you get a reply to your emails. There is a problem with bullying, vapes and discipline.
