is a modern, forward looking establishment.
We aim to be at the forefront of teaching and learning developments and
are highly committed to CPD. Our
emphasis on learning and achievement is allied to a strong moral and ethical
dimension that reflects our founding principles. The school was judged as
‘Good’ in all areas by OFSTED in September 2022. They noted that the school has
high expectations of what pupils should achieve, and it has a clear and
ambitious strategy for school improvement. It said the pupils behave well
around the site and that they have positive attitudes to their education.
Byrchall High School has a truly comprehensive intake, ranging from students who will go on to study at top universities to those who require additional support. All students are valued equally. Byrchall High School has a strong academic record.
Our students participate and achieve in a wide range of academic competitions including Debating and Public Speaking, the UK Maths Challenge, The Big Book Quiz, Engineering and Stem Challenges.
The school is situated on a very pleasant site on the outskirts of the small town of Ashton-in-Makerfield in the Wigan Local Authority. The school is opposite Haydock Park Race Course and very close to the junction of the A580 and the M6 motorway; it is, therefore, easily accessible from any number of directions and within easy reach of Manchester and Liverpool. The school is having a substantial new build programme, which is scheduled to open in September 2024. This includes new sports facilities, drama studios, classrooms, dining facilities, Learning Resource Centre, Administration offices, SEN suite and specialist teaching rooms for Science, ICT, Product Design, Food, Art and Music
