Great Sankey High School is a Good school (Ofsted 2017) and is part of the Omega Teaching Partnership. Our community benefits from wonderful students and a hardworking and committed staff.

Our ethos is very people-centric, built on ten core values developed by our student leadership group which underpin all of our aspirations for both students and staff.  We hope that these resonate with you.

The school enjoys an excellent reputation and has been over-subscribed for a number of years, indeed in September 2018 the Published Admission Number was raised from 315 to 375. This school expansion means a very secure future, both financially, but also in terms of holding a focal point within our community. We have a just completed a £5m building programme which has transformed the former primary school site next door into a new science block, sportshall and dining facility.

The school converted to become an academy in 2013 and was joined by four local, feeder primary schools to create the Omega Multi-Academy Trust in January 2018. In 2020, the Trust was joined by another high school. Our vision is to provide a community-based, continuity of education from 4 to 19, improving transition and raising achievement at every stage. This is a very exciting time to join the school and offers great opportunities.

Whilst this is a very good school with excellent opportunities, it is a school in transition in so many ways. We are seeking, therefore, a dynamic, innovative and determined teacher, who can inspire and implement change.

We are blessed with a wonderful student body, shown in their behaviour and academic standards. Students are proud of our school and we are proud of them. GCSE and A Level results are above national averages with an above average intake in prior attainment. 

The school has a sixth form, Barrow Hall College, which is the largest school-based sixth form in Warrington. This allows the offer of a wide range of courses, whilst keeping the ability to know and nurture every student in their aspirations beyond the College.

We value the development of our staff and are working with Ambition Institute on an innovative CPD programme. Alongside this work, sits the ‘school to school support’ work of our National Support School status. As you will be aware, this offers candidates a host of personal and professional development development opportunities too.

Our mission statement:
 
The Great Sankey learning community provides excellent teaching and learning with passion and  purpose, based on core values, devised with our students. Working in a warm and welcoming, yet  purposeful environment, our mission is for everyone to be happy and inspired by their school  experience. We empower students to harness their own creativity, to raise their aspirations and to  achieve their potential. Working together, they gain confidence and pride to take their place in our community unities too.
