St Damian’s is a heavily oversubscribed Roman Catholic Science College committed to the professional development of staff and promoting the welfare of children. St Damian’s is situated on the Tameside and Oldham border and is widely recognised for the quality of care it provides for all pupils and the professional opportunities afforded to all colleagues.

However, we are not a complacent community and we strive daily to ensure that our great pupils receive the ‘best’ catholic education in terms of academic achievement, faith formation and personal development. This holistic education is at the heart of what we do and who we are. Our pupils achieve excellent outcomes; second best is not the mantra of the fantastic staff at St Damian’s.

Last year was a remarkable year for our small, yet thriving, community. Firstly, we achieved back-to-back Ofsted outstanding [June 2023]. Despite a more robust framework, the community again proved that we deliver the ‘best’ education possible. An excellent report concluded “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), feel honoured, safe and happy to be attending this school”. This epitomises our mantra which is ‘start with the child and you won’t go far wrong’. Secondly, we have sustained academic outcomes, which continue to be above National average in all headline measures. In fact, our Progress 8 measure, 0.5, was the best in our history and was defined as ‘well above average’. This is important as it ensures we give our students the best possible chance in life by preparing for their next stages. Thirdly, during 2023 we won a plethora of external accolades including three ‘Secondary School of the Year’ awards, an overall ‘Secondary School of the Year’, and were finalists for ‘Wellbeing’, ‘Mental Health & Wellbeing’, and ‘Community Champion’ awards; all ‘just’ recognition for our achievements and to fulfil our simple vision ‘to be outstanding in all we do’
