Irlam & Cadishead College is a mixed, 11-19 academy, sponsored by the Salford Academy Trust and situated in Irlam in the metropolitan district of Salford on the Cheshire and Warrington border. The pupil roll is around 670.
Irlam & Cadishead College started life as Irlam and Cadishead High School but in 2011 this school was closed and knocked down and its pupils and staff moved next door to a new building. The new £24m school, built with Private Finance Initiative cash as part of the Building Schools for the Future programme, was renamed Irlam and Cadishead College. The school benefits from a variety of modern learning spaces, outdoor classrooms, a new sports hall, gym and a flood-lit all-weather pitch. Budding performers have a new music technology suite, performance hall and dance and drama workshops to support their development.
After a period of difficulties, Irlam and Cadishead College is embarking on a successful journey of improvement.
