What the school offers its staff

Kingsway Park High School

Kingsway Park High School was established 14 years ago, and joined the Altus Education Partnership in February 2022. We are now a very popular oversubscribed school located in central Rochdale. We are within a five-minute drive to junctions for the M62 and M60 motorways and a similar distance to Rochdale train station and the Metro Link.

We have 1350 students (Year 7-11) and 190 staff. KPHS students live in and travel to us from communities all over Rochdale and the surrounding areas. We are very proud of the high-quality facilities, resources, and environment that we provide for both staff and students.

We hold our school values of Kindness, Perseverance, Helpfulness and Success at the core of everything we expect from our students. Students are awarded celebration post cards and lapel badges when they consistently demonstrate our values.

If you would like to visit the school to get a feel of who we are and where we are going, we would warmly welcome you.

Altus Education Partnership

The Altus Education Partnership is a Multi Academy Trust and was established in April 2017 by the Governing Body of Rochdale Sixth Form College, an outstanding A-Level provider founded in 2010. The college was awarded Outstanding status by Ofsted in 2013 and has developed a national reputation for excellence, having been used in Ofsted case studies for sharing best practice. The development of the Trust stemmed from a commitment to raising aspirations and improving the life chances of young people throughout the borough of Rochdale. In 2019 the Trust was successful in its application to open a new free school, the Edgar Wood Academy, which serves the local community in Middleton and Heywood.

We 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.
