Kingsway Park High School
Kingsway Park High School is proud to be a vibrant, inclusive and diverse 11-16 comprehensive school built around our motto: We Belong, We Co-operate, We Succeed. As part of the Altus Education Partnership, we believe every child, whatever their background, should have the chance to belong, to achieve, and to become the very best version of themselves. We have state-of-the-art facilities and provide an individualised and unique curriculum offer for all students regardless of their starting point, gender, ethnicity, faith or need, including students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and additional or complex needs.
Kingsway Park High School is deeply embedded in the local community. It is a school that sees its responsibilities as extending well beyond the school gates. Those strong local relationships give the school a real sense of place and belonging: a school not simply located in its community, but part of it.
We care for, nurture and develop the whole child while improving aspirations, learning and achievement for all. In addition to ensuring each student's academic potential, we also prepare them to be socially responsible citizens who can flourish in society and give back to their local community, with a strong focus on enrichment opportunities and preparing students for future employment and further education. We seek to remove any barriers of inequity which prevent equality of opportunity, so that all students can aspire and be inspired to realise their dreams and lead happy, fulfilling lives. Kingsway Park High School is rated 'Good' by Ofsted and is proud to serve students across Rochdale and its surrounds.
