What the school offers its staff
Background Information
Edgar Wood Academy
Edgar Wood Academy is an 11-16 year old state-funded secondary school. Working closely with Rochdale Borough Council to meet the estimated shortfall of secondary school places, we opened our doors to welcome Year 7 children from the areas of Middleton and Heywood in September 2021. Our intake this year is 195 places, with a total of 485 places being offered since in September 2021 within Years 7-9.
In our first year we were based in a temporary site in the grounds of Hopwood Hall College, Middleton Campus, whilst the new school was completed. From September 2022, Years 7, 8 and 9 students at Edgar Wood Academy have been able to experience our new school building on Heywood Old Road, Heywood, with its modern state-of-the-art facilities, designed to allow them to flourish academically, culturally and artistically.
Altus Education Partnership
Edgar Wood Academy is currently one of four institutions in the Altus Education Partnership (a Multi-Academy Trust) alongside Kingsway Park High School, Bamford Academy and Rochdale Sixth Form College (“TES 6th Form College of the Year 2021” and “Ofsted Officially Outstanding 2022”). Edgar Wood Academy and the Trust have a very strong educational reputation in the local community and are in a financially robust position. The Trust works as a partnership of equals, where all Academies are distinctive institutions working together for the benefit of all students, within which, Headteachers and local Governing Bodies have delegated authority and associated autonomy. The Trust expects to expand further in the next few years, working with Academies in the Primary and Secondary phases to improve the quality of education across the borough.
Altus Education Partnership are committed to supporting all children in their Academies to progress to a successful career, life and employment path of their choice.
All our Academies will share a collective identity as providers of the highest quality teaching with high expectations of learners, coupled with effective assessment and intervention. Young people in our Academies will engage with opportunities to develop their own skills and aptitudes to support their progression, while making valuable contributions to their communities. Leaders and Teachers will take a collaborative approach, sharing best practice at a local, regional and national level, to continuously improve the performance and outcomes of all Academies in the Trust.
Altus Education Partnership Values
The values of the Altus Education Partnership will be embedded and visible throughout all the academies. Each will have its own unique identity built around the core Trust values. These are:
- Unrelenting commitment to improve the quality of our provision and enhance the lives of our students.
- Openness in the way we build trust and bring purpose to our work as a Multi Academy Trust.
- Accountability through the rigorous, transparent and forensic analysis of all aspects of our performance.
- Commitment to the principles of inclusion and equality.
- Dedication to the borough of Rochdale and its surrounds.
- Collective responsibility for one another and the results of all our students – ‘if one fails, we all fail’.
The Ambition is that by the time students leave they will:
- Have achieved their personal academic potential giving them a greater choice in life.
- Have the highest aspirations and developed the self-esteem, confidence, and emotional resilience to exploit their potential.
- Be contributing members of the community and have compassion for others.
- Be able to celebrate their success and that of others.
- Have developed the confidence to overcome barriers to success.
- Be articulate, creative, and prepared for future growth and learning.
