Dear Parents/Guardians.

First of all, I'd like to thank you for taking an interest in Glossopdale Community College. As you are well aware, the school you choose is one of the most important decisions you're ever likely to make for your child's future. That's why, we believe in the widest possible horizons for learning and aim to be the finest 11 - 18 College that can be found anywhere.

We aim to provide a stimulating environment that offers much more than an academic institution, by encouraging our students to make knowledge their own and to secure the best possible qualifications for all their futures. This has been reflected in our most recent examination results, which are most encouraging.

As an 11 - 18 College we are very well placed to make the most of the many changes which are coming to secondary education. Increasingly, for the vast majority of students, full time education now continues to the age of 18, so we can ensure the continuity of education for all our students. We aim to provide a stimulating education so that the lessons learnt are also about life and human relationships. We teach our students study skills and how to learn to learn. We encourage all of our students to make knowledge their own and to secure the best possible qualifications for their further education, for their future careers, for leisure and for life after college.

If you have any queries or concerns regarding Glossopdale Community College, please contact us,
