Job overview

Oulder Hill Community School and Language College is a very successful school and one of the largest in Rochdale. A multi-million pound PFI rebuilding/refurbishment was completed in Autumn 2007 to provide state-of-the-art facilities for students, staff and the community.  The school serves a large area in the west of the borough.  All at the school are committed to achieving the highest academic and social standards for students and to the well-being and continuous professional development of all staff.  The school was graded as 'good' in all categories by Ofsted in October 2012 with a number of outstanding features. The school achieved record headline figures of 67% 5ACEM and high levels of progress in 2014 being significantly above national averages in the EBAC subjects for all students including pupil premium.

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  Appointment to this post is subject to a criminal record and background check.

About Oulder Hill Community School and Language College

Located in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, Oulder Hill Community School is a co-educational secondary school. With around 1200 pupils aged 11-16, Oulder Hill is noticeably larger than the average school of its type, and covers a large and diverse catchment area, a fact reflected in its student intake. The school merged with another local secondary school, specialising in children with learning disabilities, in 2003. This coincided with a significant redevelopment and modernisation of the school site, meaning that Oulder Hill can now boast of a wide range of modern teaching and recreational facilities. Although Oulder Hill had previously has a sixth form, this was closed in 2010.

Ofsted

“The quality of teaching is good. This judgement is supported by the school’s records of lesson observations, the substantial number of lessons observed during the inspection and by the views of parents. Evidence from joint observations shows that judgements about teaching, made by inspectors and by school leaders, match closely.”
