Dean Trust Ardwick is one of ten schools (6 secondary and 4 primary) within The Dean Trust. The school is committed to the Trust’s aim of working in areas of greatest challenge and shares the belief that it is the educational right of the child to receive a comprehensive education committed to academic excellence - regardless of background or social standing.
Dean Trust Ardwick opened in 2015 to meet the challenge of increased demand for school places in Manchester and to serve the local community. In May 2018, Ofsted acknowledged the strong start the school had made, judging it as ‘good’ and recognising its ‘relentless pursuit of excellence’. By 2019, it had become a well-established ‘school of choice’ and had its first full intake from Years 7-11. The first two cohorts graduated from Dean Trust Ardwick with high achievement following rigorous TAG and CAG quality assurance processes. The school maintained strong outcomes this year with the first Dean Trust Ardwick cohort to officially sit a full GCSE exam season.
There has been a recent change in leadership as the founding Headteacher retired in April 2022. The new Head of School has worked at Dean Trust Ardwick since its inception and is therefore well placed to move it forward, on its next period of growth. Together, with the newly established leadership team, the Head of School has developed and shared a 3-5 year vision for a truly inclusive school where all pupils thrive, without exception.
To realise its ambition the school remains focused on delivering a high quality universal offer that provides all pupils with a curriculum that exposes them to powerful knowledge, places them on an ambition pathway and develops the character traits needed to seize the opportunities that exist in society. This is underpinned by an explicit focus on the school culture, where all staff take collective and equal responsibility to foster the culture the school desires and which our young people deserve.
