I am delighted to welcome you to Irlam and Cadishead Academy. We are part of United Learning, a national group of academies, primaries and independent schools, all of which strive to bring out ‘the best in everyone’.
As Principal, it is a privilege to be a part of this wonderful school, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in March 2024, and work alongside our dedicated staff, talented students, and supportive community.
At Irlam and Cadishead Academy, we believe that every student possesses the potential to achieve great things. With our ethos of 'Empowering Excellence, Expecting the Extraordinary', we strive to create a nurturing and ambitious environment where all our students can flourish in the classroom and beyond.
Our committed team of teachers and staff are dedicated to providing a high-quality education to our young people, equipping them with the skills they need to succeed in an ever-changing world. We aim to instil a love for learning, foster critical thinking abilities and empower students to become lifelong learners.
We offer an ambitious academic curriculum, complemented by a diverse and exciting extracurricular programme, ‘Aspire’. Aspire provides opportunities for students to take on leadership roles, engage in enrichment activities and trips, and participate in a wide range of after-school clubs. These experiences contribute to their character development, enabling them to become well-rounded, responsible global citizens.
To learn more about our programmes, initiatives, and the wonderful opportunities available to our students, I encourage you to browse our website. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our doors are always open and we encourage you to pay us a visit so you can see for yourself the excellent teaching and learning on offer here.
