Everyone Excels Everyday

As an academy, we work hard to ensure that our pupils achieve grades that reflect their potential. In 2026 our pupils excelled, achieving outstanding results across a breadth of subjects.

We are exceptionally proud of our pupils for placing themselves as the number one school in Rochdale over the past 5 years for the following:

  • Percentage of pupils with a Grade 4 or higher in both Maths and English.

  • Percentage of pupils with a Grade 5 or higher in both Maths and English.

  • Percentage of pupils who achieved 5 or more qualifications at Grade 4 or higher (including Maths and English). 

  • Percentage of pupils who achieve 2 GCSEs at Grade 4 or higher in Science. 

  • Average grade achieved across all subjects. 

As well as locally our pupils have achieved significantly above the national average in all key areas:
