Dean Trust Ardwick is a recent addition to The Dean Trust; a group of high performing schools. We opened in 2015 and are now a fully-fledged Year 7-11 school, serving over 1200 pupils, in the heart of the Ardwick and Longsight community. We pride ourselves on being a local school for local children, and since inception we have become the school of choice for families.
We exist to empower our pupils to find their purpose and thrive as citizens of the world. We provide a knowledge-rich curriculum which exposes pupils to powerful knowledge, places them on an ambitious pathway and develops the character traits needed to seize the opportunities that exist. Through finding their passions we enable pupils to make a positive difference to the world. Our core purpose is not merely finite ‘success’ for our pupils but for them to thrive - continually grow and flourish.
We are explicit about the culture we want to create and have clear ideas of the desired behaviours necessary for our pupils to succeed. At Dean Trust Ardwick, we maintain a relentless focus on the day-to-day actions, behaviours and routines within the school and adopt a disciplined approach to teaching pupils the right and successful ways to do things.
