Crompton House CofE School & Sixthform

What Crompton House CofE School & Sixthform does

Crompton House CofE School & Sixthform is a state-funded Church of England secondary school and sixth form located in Shaw, Oldham, England, serving approximately 1,886 pupils aged 11 to 18. Founded in 1926, it converted to academy status in 2011 and operates as the lead school within the Crompton House Church of England Multi Academy Trust alongside partner primary schools. The school delivers the standard English national curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4, leading to GCSE qualifications, and provides A Level pathways at sixth form, with Applied Medical Science added as a recent post-16 offering.

The school's teaching and administration is supported by a conventional consumer-grade digital stack comprising Microsoft Office 365 for productivity, Doddle for homework and assessment workflows, GCSE Pod for curriculum content, and Class Charts for behaviour and communication tracking. There is no evidence of proprietary technology, in-house AI/ML systems, or differentiated platform architecture; the school functions primarily as a curriculum delivery and pastoral-care provider rather than a technology developer.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through UK government per-pupil funding allocated via the Department for Education and routed through the Multi Academy Trust, with supplementary funds raised by the active PTFA (more than £15,000 per year). The school is non-commercial, charges no tuition, and does not operate a B2B or B2C pricing model. Governance is shared between the Local Governing Body, the MAT trustees, and the Diocese of Manchester under Church of England admission criteria, and the school is consistently over-subscribed within its catchment area.

Regional players

• King David High School: Jewish faith secondary school in Greater Manchester. Comparable as a faith-based secondary with strong academic outcomes; serves a more regionally defined niche rather than overlapping catchment with Crompton House.
• Hulme Grammar School: Independent selective school in Oldham. Comparable as an academically strong secondary option in the same town but competes as a fee-paying alternative to Crompton House's free state provision.
• Tameside College (Tameside Sixth Form College / Clarendon Sixth Form College): Post-16 provider in adjacent Tameside borough. Comparable post-16 alternative for students who could otherwise attend Crompton House Sixth Form, particularly for vocational Level 3 pathways.
