I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and welcome you to Failsworth School website. My name is John Meagher and I am the Headteacher of Failsworth School. I joined the school in January 2010 and since then I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at what truly is an exceptional school.

Our results last summer were superb. A record 96% of our students left with five or more GCSE’s at A*-C, 57% left with five or more at A*-C including English and Mathematics. Our best results ever and a just reward for all the hard work put in by students and staff.

As a Foundation School with Cooperative Trust Status, we are also developing strong alliances with a range of partners in Failsworth and its wider community. The “Failsworth Learning Partnership” is the key vehicle for creating these additional links and consequently for enhancing educational opportunities in our community.

My mission at Failsworth is to lead the school to even greater success and I see the school's number one aim as "preparing tomorrow's citizens today" to enable them to take up this challenge in a rapidly changing world. This will be achieved by demanding respect for all and providing an education that gives our students individual opportunities to prepare them for what lies ahead. We are a good school, but we are now embarking on a journey to make all aspects of the school outstanding.

I hope you will have a look around the various aspects of the website and explore some of the links which give you just a taste of the many successful and creative activities that are taking place at Failsworth School. If you would like any further information please contact me using the link info@failsworthlg.co.uk .

I look forward to sharing with you all the "good news" about Failsworth School in the future

Yours faithfully

John Meagher
Headteacher
