We aim to continue a journey of improvement and transformation, and I am determined to provide an exceptional quality of education and culture for all students, with the ambition that all will excel both academically and as aspirational and inspirational young people. There is no better time to join us, as a colleague, a leader, or a student.

The school is situated close to local transport links and is easily accessible from areas in the North-West. Our School has been oversubscribed for a number ofyears and now boasts over 2100 students across Key Stages 3, 4 & 5. The school has Barrow Hall College; a large school based in the sixth form.
