What the school offers its staff
Hawkley Hall is a high performing, heavily oversubscribed, mixed
comprehensive school of around 1160 students.
In June 2017, Hawkley Hall High School was awarded Teaching
School status and in April 2018 became the lead school of the
Greater Manchester Science Learning Partnership, part of the DfE
funded national network, STEM Learning.
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 education we provide for our children.
The school is situated in the south western part 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.
The Rowan Learning Trust (RLT) was established as a Multi-Academy
Trust in 2012 to maximise potential of all children, students and adults
in our schools and to support them in their journey to become
outstanding.
Currently the RLT family comprises six schools: three high schools, an
all-through alternative provision academy and two primary schools.
Together we share a set of common values:
• Mutual respect
• Fairness
• Equality of opportunity
• Individual growth
• Kindness
We believe in an inclusive workplace – one that is built on fairness,
merit and respect to help our employees perform to their greatest
potential.

clear expectations of effort and behaviour
highly effective pastoral support
a culture of academic success and progress
high quality teaching
effective opportunities for student leadership to be developed
excellent buildings and resources that enhance learning
a broad and balanced curriculum
Our commitment to providing the best possible education means we are never satisfied and are always looking for opportunities to improve. We place high value on development and research and as a result we attract the best teachers and support staff.
We are always open to visitors and would be happy to welcome you into school so you can appreciate the Hawkley Way.
