Orrell Holgate Academy

Welcome!

Welcome to our website. We hope you find the information presented helpful.

Orrell Holgate is a special place - we are a successful and ambitious school with a caring family ethos.  

Our children are well behaved, hardworking and caring; we look after them very well.

We work alongside our parents to equip each child with the tools they need to be successful, safe and happy now, at secondary school and beyond.

We have an exciting curriculum with many links to wider learning through visits, visitors and our spiritual, moral, social and cultural list of non-negotiable experiences. Our data and pupil achievement reflects our high aspirations and expectations for every pupil.
