School Description

Failsworth is a larger-than-average 11 to 16 years co-educational school. Since the previous monitoring inspection the headteacher has left the school and been replaced by an interim executive headteacher. The proportion of pupils who are known to be eligible for additional financial support through the pupil premium is higher than average. The school has a lower-than-average proportion of pupils with special educational needs or disability. The majority of pupils are of White British heritage. Fewer pupils than average have a minority ethnic heritage or speak English as an additional language. A total of 33 pupils from all year groups undertake a range of vocational and social skills-based courses at SkillsForce Development Limited, Teens and Toddlers, Oldham Care and Support, and Mahdlo Youth Zone. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. This is a Foundation School with Cooperative Trust Status. It works in partnership with five associated trust partner primary schools and the Failsworth Achievement Board.
