[edit] History
The school opened in September 2006 as part of the first wave of a nationwide 10-15 year programme of capital investment funded by the Department for Education and Skills called Building Schools for the Future. It currently occupies the site of the former Towneley High School; its new buildings, scheduled for completion in 2010, will be on an adjacent site.
[edit] Attainment
In 2007, 21% of Year 11 students achieved 5 A*-C GCSE passes including English Language and Mathematics (national average 46.7%).[1] The school's value-added measure was 971 (national average 1000), which placed it in the bottom 5% nationally for adding value between the end of Key Stage 2 and the end of Key Stage 4.[2]
