Failsworth School - Specialist Sports College

Failsworth School has been a Specialist Sports College since September 2000 and is a nationally recognised Specialist College at the cutting edge of innovation and change. This has been the result of many years of hard work and determination to create opportunities for our students, parents, the local and wider community through Sport. As a Specialist Sports College we focus on how we can develop strategies and programmes across the school using the Specialism to raise achievement and attainment of young people.
