FROM THE HEADMASTER

I hope you enjoy viewing our website and that you find the information enclosed helps to give you an understanding of Audenshaw School, its ethos and values.

It describes what we strive to achieve in providing an academic education where every child is valued and where the drive for high academic standards is paramount. Our fundamental expectations of pupils are that they respect others, that they have pride in their work and their behaviour and that they will always strive to do their best. We believe that a well-ordered and well disciplined learning environment is essential in promoting these ideals.

As a former Grant Maintained School and now as a Foundation School, we seek to maintain the ethos for which the school has been known since it first opened in 1932. Tradition is something we value and which we believe provides true strength to the school.

In the Ofsted report on the school we were delighted when the inspectors recognised that the school was clearly fulfilling its aims. They wrote ‘The quality of teaching is very good throughout the school. Pupils’ attitudes to all aspects of school life are excellent. They are genuinely enthusiastic about making good progress in their learning work hard in lessons.’ Our examination results have consistently placed the school at the top of local and national league tables for comprehensive schools.

Outside the classroom, staff give generously of their time and a range of extra curricular activities are offered to extend and to enrich the experience of pupils.

We believe strongly in the relationship between the school and parents. We expect parents to reinforce our expectation for high standards of uniform, attendance, punctuality and work.

If this spirit of co-operative endeavour between parents and teachers is your ideal of a school, then I believe that Audenshaw School is the school for your son.

If you wish to visit us when the school is in session we will be proud to show you our school.
