Great Sankey High School was judged as ‘Good’ overall by Ofsted in our most recent inspection in March 2023. We aim to continue a journey of improvement and transformation, and I am determined to provide an exceptional quality of education and culture for all students, with the ambition that all will excel both academically and as aspirational and inspirational young people. There is no better time to join us, as a colleague, a leader, or a student.
Our philosophy is grounded equally in securing the highest professional standards and supporting and caring for all professionals. Great Sankey High School is a founding member of the Omega Multi- Academy Trust, and all staff benefit from exceptional networks and opportunities. A broad and varied professional development package is available, driven by the latest educational research with a focus on the development of all professionals at each career stage. Colleagues who train with us grow with us and progress with us.
The school is situated close to local transport links and is easily accessible from areas in the North-West. Our School has been oversubscribed for a number of years and now boasts over 2100 students across Key Stages 3, 4 & 5.
The school has Barrow Hall College; a large school based in the sixth form. Students and staff are incredibly proud of their school and are determined to work together to secure further improvements and achievements.
Great Sankey High School benefits from increasingly impressive facilities and ongoing projects. The school has seen significant investment in a building and refurbishment programme, resulting in a range of new specialist science classrooms and new sports accommodation.
