A school with a church foundation has existed on the site for 92 years. In 1932, All Saints’ Senior Church School was founded for ‘the nurture of the hearts and minds of children’ in Wigan. In 1970, All Saints’ School closed to allow the formation of a new high school. For the last 55 years, The Deanery Church of England High School has honoured that rich legacy and has been a beacon of distinctive Christian education for generations.

At the heart of the motorway network, Wigan has easy access to the M6, M58 and M61 so there is no better place to live.

The West Coast rail line runs right through Wigan, which makes London and other great cities of the UK accessible within a few hours. We are located only a 10-minute walk away from both train stations. We are also only a 5-minute walk from Wigan’s bus station.

‘An outstanding environment where pupils naturally live out the school mantra ‘work hard, be kind, make a difference.’
SIAMS 2021

‘Leaders and Governors are considerate of staff workload and well-being. Staff described the school as a happy place to work. Staff are very proud to be part of the school.’
Ofsted 2022
