Dean Trust Ardwick is one of eleven schools (six secondary, four primary and one all-through) within The Dean Trust. The school is committed to the Trust’s mission 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. Enrolment data indicates that Dean Trust Ardwick pupils are ready for the next stage of their education, employment and training at Post-16. The school has maintained good outcomes, with five consecutive years of positive progress, with an average P8 score of 0.27.
In April 2022, the founding Headteacher retired, and the new Head of School, who has been part of the school since its inception, took over leadership. This change in leadership, alongside the newly established leadership team, has paved the way for the next phase of the school's growth. Together, they have developed and shared a five-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.
