Admissions

It is for ages 11–16. It is near junction 19 of the M62 and just off the A6045. There are only four 11-18 schools in Rochdale LEA, and none in Heywood. A levels can be taken at Hopwood Hall College.

History

It opened in September 1968. It was formed from Heywood Grammar School and the Bamford Road and Hornby Street secondary modern schools. It was originally to be the new site of the grammar school. The former site of the grammar school on Hind Hill Street became the Hind Hill Centre. It was demolished in 2006 and is now the Phoenix Centre.

Building Schools For The Future

Siddal Moor has allocated money for the refurbishment and rebuild. The project includes a new building at the front for teaching and administration with the rest of the school being refurbished. The project is scheduled to be finished for April 2011.
