Old Hall Drive Academy

Old Hall Drive Academy is a happy, vibrant two form entry academy in Gorton where children are enthusiastic and motivated to achieve endless possibilities. The children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that they are happy and confident. We ensure that the opportunities and skills that are provided for them are relevant to their needs both now and in the future. Through our engaging and exciting RESPECT curriculum, we ensure that children can foster a love for learning and curiosity that will help to develop high aspirations and a lifetime of memories. We believe in ensuring that children receive a well-rounded curriculum; where individual talents can be spotted and nurtured to ensure that all children experience success and reach their full potential. Through the RESPECT curriculum, we help and actively encourage our pupils to be resilient; show empathy; have self-awareness, be positive, show excellence; have good communication and to work as part of a team. At Old Hall Drive, we have a committed team who work hard to constantly improve to ensure we reach high standards in everything we do. Our children are the stars of our school and very few visitors fail to comment on their politeness, enthusiasm and behaviour for learning. This is further embedded through our relationships with parents as we firmly believe that education is a partnership between home and school; the local community and the other schools within the Wise Owl Trust. I personally feel very privileged and proud to lead their learning as they deserve the best that we can provide for them. I hope that you find our school website useful and informative.
