About The Oldham College

The Oldham College is a state secondary school in Oldham that serves students from age 14 through to 99, making it an unusual option for both teenagers and adult learners. It is a mixed, non-religious school with a very small capacity of just 25 pupils, which suggests an intimate, almost tutorial-style setting rather than a typical large secondary. The school’s headteacher is Simon Jordan. While the data does not include a specific figure for free school meal eligibility, the local authority average for Progress 8 is -0.13, which provides a benchmark for the area. The school does not appear to be oversubscribed based on the available admission information, and its small size means it is likely to suit families looking for a more personalised, less crowded environment. The nearest outstanding-rated school is The Blue Coat CofE School, located 0.9 km away, which may be a more conventional choice for families prioritising top Ofsted grades.
