Hawkley Hall is a high performing, heavily oversubscribed, mixed comprehensive secondary school based in Wigan, Greater Manchester. The school was graded as good in all areas by Ofsted in November 2024.
We see successful education as a partnership between parents, students, and ourselves. Links with parents are of paramount importance, with regular and frequent contact via parents’ evenings, reports, newsletters, and the school planner contributing to a continuing dialogue about the curriculum we provide for our children.
The school is situated in the southwest of Wigan, close to the M6 motorway, in an area of substantial private development. A wild fowl nature reserve borders the school grounds providing an open attractive outlook to the site. We provide bespoke facilities for students across all of our 9 faculty areas. We strategically invest in our ICT and site.
Staff development is also at the heart of our school. All staff engage in regular professional learning in faculty and beyond. Staff in leadership roles are supported internally and are encouraged to engage in additional training through the national programme of NPQs. Indeed, a number of our colleagues who have been Lead Practitioners have gone on to further senior roles in the school.
