Altrincham College

Altrincham College is an over-subscribed modern high school set in attractive, spacious grounds in the semi-rural Hale/Timperley area of Altrincham. The school currently caters for approximately 980 pupils aged 11-18, so is the ideal size to offer opportunity and expertise in every area of the curriculum, whilst still being able to maintain a caring and secure environment for our pupils. The school is well served by public transport, ensuring easy access to all parts of Altrincham and South Manchester. 

Our last Ofsted inspection (May 2022) confirmed that we are a “good” school, The overall message from the Inspection reads:

“Trustees, governors and other leaders set clear and high ambitions for all pupils and for students in the sixth form. These expectations help pupils and students to achieve well overall. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged.”

Values and vision

We believe in tension-free but firm discipline, and high standards of behaviour are expected. The school encourages respect, freedom and tolerance within a law-abiding and democratic society.

A school council is made up of elected pupils from all year groups, ensuring that students are given an active voice in the development of Altrincham College.

Altrincham College provides excellent CPD opportunities for all its staff in order for them to grow and develop their learning in an aspirational environment.
