Performance

OfSTED have produced an inspection report for Haslingden High School. It is accessible in PDF format.

In the most recent OfSTED Inspection the main school was awarded grade 1 all round (The highest - Outstanding). The Sixth Form was also graded as 'Outstanding' for Care, Advice and Guidance. Exam results have risen for the last five years, with increasing results in ICT, English Literature, Religious Studies and BTEC Sport. Former Headteacher Eve Challinger led the school to reach this status and the school remains an Outstanding one for all staff and students who attend.

It gets great GCSE results, well above the England average, and also good A-level results, for a comprehensive. It is one of the few Lancashire comprehensives with a sixth form.

Admissions

It is led by headteacher Mark Jackson, assisted by deputy headteacher Mrs G Middlemas. The school runs a Faculty system, each headed by a curriculum leader. The pastoral system at Haslingden High School is particularly strong with Heads of Lower, Middle and Upper schools leading learning mentors in each year group. The Sixth Form is led by Mr. Simon Heaton, Director of Sixth Form Studies. The Sixth Form at Haslingden is very much part of the main school and many of the school students go on to Post-16 study. However, students also join HHS Sixth Form from other local schools such as Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School, All Saints Catholic Language College in Rawtenstall, Fearns Community Sports College in Bacup and Alder Grange Community and Technology School.
