About Mossley Hollins High School

Mossley Hollins High School sits comfortably above the Tameside local authority average on the headline measure of pupil progress. Its Progress 8 score of -0.03 is notably stronger than the LA average of -0.19, meaning pupils here make progress that is broadly in line with the national average, while the typical Tameside secondary school sees pupils fall further behind. This places the school 6th out of 16 similar schools in the borough, putting it in the top half locally. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 49.9 also reflects solid academic outcomes, with 78.3% of pupils achieving a grade 4 or above in English and maths, and 53.1% achieving a grade 5 or above. These figures suggest a school that consistently delivers results above the local norm, without being among the very highest performers in Tameside.
