Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Secondary
5.7/10 Broadly average

7th of 16 secondary schools in Tameside we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 834 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.6/10 among them, against 6.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
