We encourage and support students to attain high academic achievement, alongside equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and understanding to overcome future challenges. We want them to be lifelong learners who are motivated to develop and grow well beyond their time with us.
Relationships between staff and students are the cornerstone of our success. Our teachers want to work here, and our recruitment process ensures we employ the most ambitious, talented, and well- qualified staff available.
Haslingden High provides a superb, well rounded educational experience. We could not have made a better choice for our children!”

We are proud of our curriculum and strive to ensure that all students have access to an exciting, ambitious, and inclusive learning experience that is well-planned, broad, diverse, and expertly delivered.
We intentionally sequence our curriculum so that we can make connections between themes and topics, revisit key concepts, and allow students access to the best possible learning climate to know more and remember more. Our curriculum inspires and motivates students to want to develop their understanding independently.
Through our iPad scheme, we recognise the importance of students being digitally literate in preparation for the world of work and, through the well-planned and timely use of technology, our teachers are empowered, learning opportunities are maximised, and classroom theory is lifted from the page.
We strive to create successful learners now and in the future
At Haslingden High School and Sixth Form, our students are happy, ambitious, and creative; they thrive in a friendly, purposeful learning environment, characterised by high expectations, positive relationships, and exemplary standards of behaviour. The warm, caring, and successful school community is regularly commended by visitors. Working together as a learning community, we value every student as an individual, developing confidence, building self-esteem, and inspiring our young learners to achieve in all areas of school life.
Active participants, not passive recipients
Leaders ensure that an ambitious, well-designed curriculum is in place. They have an accurate understanding of how well teachers deliver the curriculum.

We intend for all students to develop skills and to be confident in their knowledge so that they can take increasing ownership of their learning as they progress through the school, and in many cases, into our sixth form. To support this, the CPD and training opportunities we provide for teachers enable them to become experts in their chosen field.
Whilst we are proud of our academic achievements, we believe that this is not the sole measure of our curriculum’s success. We aim to equip our students with the skills, knowledge, and understanding to continue to develop and grow as well-rounded individuals beyond life at Haslingden High School and Sixth Form.
