St Augustine of Canterbury RC High Specialist Humanities School was a Roman Catholic high school for 11-16 year olds, located in Werneth within the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester, England under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford. The school was a specialist school in the Humanities, and comprised 650 students.
The school, was closed as the result of amalgamation on Aug. 31, 2011. It merged with Our Lady's RC High School to form Blessed John Henry Newman RC College, a joint Roman Catholic School. The new school is on a site in Chadderton and the buildings composing St. Augustine's have been demolished (2013). The last headteacher of St. Augustine's, Mr Michael McGhee, became the first headteacher of the new school.
The final OFSTED report (2009) indicated that the school was 'satisfactory' and had a 'good capacity for sustained improvement.'
