Step into the future at Longdendale High School’s open evening

Is your child leaving primary school next year? If so, you may be wondering where to send them next.

For those seeking an ambitious, inclusive, and forward-thinking secondary school, Longdendale High School in Hollingworth is opening its doors to prospective students and their families on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, from 4.30pm to 8pm - and you’re invited.

During the event, you'll get a real insight into what makes Longdendale special as you meet students and staff and tour the school’s vibrant learning spaces.

Longdendale High School has been on a transformative journey over the past year, recognised in recent Ofsted and Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) reports.

Now a IQM Flagship School for inclusion, Longdendale is part of a select group of schools nationally to receive this accolade, reflecting its exceptional commitment to every learner.

Whether students aspire to progress to university, apprenticeships, or skilled careers, Longdendale aims to provide the support and structure to help them thrive.

Its ambitious curriculum, rooted in high expectations, traditional values and academic rigour, ensures students leave with confidence, character, and strong results.

Longdendale champions a culture where students can develop their voice, build leadership, and grow into well-rounded individuals.

Through its popular Enrichment Electives programme, students take part in a wide range of clubs and opportunities, from debate and eco club to sport, mindfulness, and digital leadership.

Each student is encouraged to leave their own “Longdendale Legacy” - recognised and rewarded through positive contributions to school life, academic success, and personal growth.
