About Hopwood Hall College

Hopwood Hall College sits within the Rochdale local authority as a state-funded secondary school for students aged 16 to 99, making it a distinct option for post-16 learners in the area. Among the 15 same-type schools in the borough, the top-performing peers include Hollingworth Academy, Matthew Moss High School, and Falinge Park High School, each with Progress 8 scores close to zero. Hopwood Hall itself operates with a notably small school capacity of just 25 students, which suggests a highly selective or specialist intake. The school is mixed and has no religious character, and is led by headteacher Julia Heap. Its position in the local landscape is unusual: while most Rochdale secondaries cater to younger teenagers, Hopwood Hall focuses entirely on the 16-plus age group, giving it a niche role in the area’s education provision.
