The Oldham Academy North is throwing open its doors on September 29 for an open evening. The school is committed to high academic standards, strong pastoral care and first-class education. Its strengths in mathematics and science ensure students are well-equipped for the future, plus its rigorous and varied curriculum offers sports, arts and enrichment activities.

In 2011, Crompton House Church of England School, in High Crompton, will be celebrating its 85th anniversary. This will be commemorated with a service for the whole school in Manchester Cathedral at the end of September.
