What Hazel Grove High School does

Hazel Grove High School is an 11-18 coeducational state secondary school located in Hazel Grove, Stockport, United Kingdom. It delivers Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 secondary education (Years 7-11) covering GCSE subject areas including English, Mathematics, Sciences, Languages, Humanities, Arts, Business, and Health and Social Care, and operates a Sixth Form (Years 12-13) offering A Levels and T Levels. The school is owned and operated by the Laurus Trust, an educational trust (Companies House registration 07907463) that governs multiple secondary schools across Greater Manchester with the registered office at Cheadle Hulme High School.

The school's core technology and operations infrastructure is built on Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams for staff-student communication and collaboration, with parent-facing portals via MCAS (My Child at School) for attendance and academic tracking and ParentPay for meal and trip payments. Specialist programmes layered onto the core curriculum include the ELITE Pathway (sporting excellence with coaching, nutrition, strength and conditioning), Laurus Music (ensembles, choirs, instrumental lessons), an Electives enrichment programme, and an Academic Enhancement programme. The school follows the Laurus Trust's Four Cornerstones framework: Academic Aspiration, Culture Creativity and Rhetoric, Competition and Physical Endeavour, and Leadership and Service. The Sixth Form was temporarily closed in 2020 due to poor building infrastructure, with construction beginning in May 2022 and a state-of-the-art redeveloped centre reopening in September 2023.

As a state-funded institution, Hazel Grove High School does not generate commercial revenue and provides education free of charge to students, funded through UK government grants. Admissions for Years 7-11 flow through the Stockport local authority process, while Sixth Form enrollment is managed directly by the school. Distribution is local-only (Hazel Grove and surrounding Stockport), and there is no commercial pricing or go-to-market motion. Governance is delivered via the Laurus Trust board; local leadership comprises a Head of School (Emma Moroney, appointed January 2026) and Director of Sixth Form (Jo Lambert). The school holds an Ofsted Good rating overall with Outstanding in Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare, and Outcomes for Pupils.

Direct peers

• Cheadle Hulme High School: Sister school within the Laurus Trust and the registered office of the parent trust (Cheadle Hulme, SK8).

• Marple Hall School: State-funded secondary school located in Marple, Stockport, geographically adjacent to the Hazel Grove catchment and competing for the same local 11-18 student pool. Delivers a comparable comprehensive secondary curriculum with GCSE and A Level provision.
• Poynton High School: State secondary school serving Poynton and the surrounding Cheshire East area, drawing from an overlapping stockport-area feeder footprint. Offers standard KS3/KS4 plus a sixth-form provision comparable in scale and curriculum to Hazel Grove.

Broad incumbents

• United Learning: One of the largest UK multi-academy trusts operating a portfolio of state secondary and primary schools nationally. Comparable as a parallel institutional operator that shares centralised services and governance across multiple secondary sites, including in the North of England.
• Harris Federation: A large UK multi-academy trust running secondary and primary academies across the country. Relevant as a parallel MAT structure that pools back-office functions, governance, and curriculum design across many schools - analogous to the trust-level support Hazel Grove receives from Laurus.
