  1. The Barlow RC High School is a high-performing Catholic secondary school, with over 850 pupils on the roll. Our staff and student relationships are excellent and the school has made significant improvements over recent years. This was recognized in our last Ofsted report in October 2012. In 2012, we also achieved our best results, with 95% of our pupils gaining five or more GCSEs at A*-C, 74% including English and Maths. Dedicated to St Ambrose Barlow a local Martyr and Saint, the school was established in 1985 as a result of the amalgamation of the Hollies RC High School for Girls and St Mark's RC High School for Boys. The Barlow is situated in the heart of East Didsbury, a suburb of Manchester, and is easily accessible from the A34 bypass and the M56 and M60 motorway networks. In April 2010, The Barlow began a program of building work at an estimated investment of £11.2 million. The renovation work was part of the Building Schools for the Future program - the Government's investment in rebuilding and refurbishing secondary schools in England. The building work was completed in 2012 and as a result, the school has a new, high-specification science block, lecture theatre, sports hall, ICT suites, astroturf pitch, and reception area. The English, Maths, Design & Technology, and Art departments were all remodeled creating an environment that is both purposeful and inspiring. Barlow aims to develop the whole child morally, socially, physically, academically, spiritually, and under their individual needs. Our assemblies are instrumental in helping to develop the aims, attitudes, and values of our school and we celebrate and reward the success and achievements of our children. We are proud of the friendly and focused learning atmosphere, which is often remarked upon by visitors. Our Governing Body is very supportive of the school and the Governors are involved in all aspects of school life. We strongly encourage and believe in working in partnership with parents. At The Barlow, we aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum, which not only fulfills the requirements of the National Curriculum but meets the needs of our pupils and enables them to realize their full potential and prepare them to live as confident, responsible Christian adults in society. Our curriculum is recognized as one of the school's strengths and demonstrates our determination to provide opportunities for all pupils. The Ofsted report from our inspection in November 2016 stated: 'Leaders have ensured that the curriculum is appropriate and meets the needs of pupils to equip them to move on to the next stage of their education. The pupils whom inspectors spoke to said that they feel that they have a good range of subjects to study and subsequently choose from. The effectiveness of the curriculum can be seen by the very high numbers of pupils who go on to further education, employment, and/or training. In Years 7 & 8 pupils study the following subjects: Religious Education, English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, SpanishorFrench, Computing, Design Technology, Art, Drama, Music and Physical Education. There are a small number of pupils in Year 7, for whom it is appropriate, who study additional Literacy as part of their curriculum provision. In Year 8, our pupils take their Options. This is when they decide which subjects they would like to study in Years 9, 10, and Year 11. This period during their school career is very important, as the choices they make are likely to influence their future studies. All our Year 9, 10 and Year 11 pupils have to study core subjects. These are: Religious Studies, English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Science (either Combined Science or Separate - Biology, Chemistry, and Physics), Physical Education and Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE), Citizenship, Careers, Enterprise & Work Related Learning Communication is very important to us and our relationship with parents and the wider community is crucial to our success. We want you to share in the life of the school and the achievements of our pupils. We have designed this website to give you that insight. The Barlow is an inclusive Roman Catholic Secondary School provided by the Diocese of Salford and maintained by the Manchester Local Education Authority as a Voluntary Aided School. The parish communities served by the school are St Ambrose Barlow, St Bernard's St Bernadette's, St Catherine's, and St Cuthbert's. Nevertheless, our students come from a wide range of backgrounds and many are drawn from outside the parishes because parents, although not all Catholic, are attracted by the school's inclusive and caring ethos. With applicants for Year 7 in the secondary admissions round, when the School is oversubscribed with more applicants than places, students will be placed on a waiting list and allocated criteria as per the school's Admission Policy. The allocated criteria submitted will determine a waiting list order. Where vacancies occur parents/carers will be contacted should a place become available.
  2. Barlow Hall Primary School is one of the two founding schools of the LINK Learning Trust, (LLT), which, along with Brookburn Primary School in Chorlton, joined together to form a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) which promotes a set of values and a vision for all of its children which we hope will enhance and inspire the lives of not only the children who attend our school but their families and the wider community. We would like all our children, irrespective of background or special need, to be prepared for success in their future lives. We will achieve this by nurturing and developing their achievement, their experiences, and their skills and we will provide the skills and knowledge needed to promote growth mindsets and build resilience in our children. We are proud of our rich and diverse school. Our children are wonderfully talented and from a range of different backgrounds. Barlow Hall has extensive grounds and we love using the outside environment to extend our learning. We aim to provide full-time nursery places for children who are aged three from September 1st to August 31st of the previous academic year. Children cannot be admitted into our nursery until they are aged three. We aim to have all our children admitted to the nursery by the end of September. Sometimes younger children may have to wait until January for a place. Very occasionally older children, those born between September and December, can be offered a place at nursery a term before they are due to start and therefore complete four terms in the nursery. Parents and Carers should contact our Administration Manager, Tracey Leishman if they wish to place their child’s name on our nursery waiting list. Admission to the nursery is based on age. Putting your child’s name on the waiting list earlier does not mean they will get into the nursery earlier. Children’s names need to be on the nursery waiting list by the end of the Easter holidays, the term before they are due to start in nursery. Manchester local authority is responsible for admission of all reception places, including children who are already in our nursery. The local authority forms must be completed by parents and sent in the envelope provided to the local authority by the nominated date in December the year before your child is due to start reception. A late application could result in your child not getting a place at the school of their choice. Parents who have a nursery place at Barlow Hall do not automatically get a place in reception at that school. At Barlow Hall, our curriculum is designed to ensure that children achieve their full potential academically and personally. Our curriculum design is based on our particular context and the needs of our children with teaching that promotes learning and opportunities and experiences for success in life. Our curriculum is based on the best care, guidance, and support for children involving their families and includes everyone. Our curriculum is enriched for enjoyment, promotes healthy lifestyles, promotes a positive contribution and economic well-being, promotes staying safe, and provides a social, moral, and cultural contribution. We follow the National Curriculum. We are committed to supporting all our children. Ofsted rated our behavior and safety as outstanding, “Pupils are actively involved in helping to make the school a happy place for everyone. They readily take on responsibility. Pupils with additional learning, health, language, and social needs are supported extremely well.” Barlow Hall is set in extensive grounds, overlooking Chorlton Golf Club, we are set well back from the road. We have a front field mainly used for sport and three separate playgrounds for Early Years, Key stage 1, and KS2. We have a forest area on the school site where our children access quality outdoor learning activities. Our school is set around a large garden, our quad. Children and the community access outdoor learning in the quad where we run a gardening club. The school was built in 1931 and is a single story. We have two halls which enable our older and younger children to eat separately. We have a new kitchen that has enabled us to serve food cooked on the premises for the first time. At Barlow Hall, we have a Reading Centre. This supports the teaching of reading, as well as developing professional development programs for Barlow Hall teachers and staff from other schools. We also have a Communication Centre, a resourced provision for children with autistic spectrum difficulties or children with specific language impairments. Although the local authority regulates admission to our Communication Centre, the specialist staff and resources are used by the whole school community. We have a Therapeutic Inclusion room, our Mizu Garden, which is accessed by all our children and helps support children’s emotional well-being. Children access the Mizu garden as whole classes, small groups, and as individuals.
  3. St Ambrose Barlow is a voluntary aided primary school with an average of 210 pupils. There are seven classes, one for each year group. Our community is shaped by our Catholic faith and values and it is within this context that the growth and development of our children take place. Our school has a strong Catholic ethos and we are all learning to live, love, and work together. Our partnership with the parents, parish, and our Parish Priest is very strong indeed, and together, we aim to help the spiritual and moral growth of all our children as well as their intellectual growth. Here at St Ambrose Barlow, a love of learning is promoted within a safe and happy environment in which everyone feels valued, ideas can flourish and pupils can realize their full potential. Christian values and spirituality are at the heart of all aspects of school life. Every child is welcomed and valued as a unique member of God's family and all staff is dedicated to providing a stimulating, nurturing, and exciting environment. Our aim is for our children to live confident, healthy, fulfilling, and safe lives. We want them to grow to be responsible citizens, living the Gospel values and able to make a positive contribution to society. We believe that working in partnership with parents, carers, governors, and our parish community is critical to ensuring our success. A family atmosphere is fostered within which children feel confident to express their individuality, their talents and know that success in any aspect of their lives will be rewarded and celebrated. Parents have a very important role to play in the education of their children and we actively encourage close co-operation between home and school. We value and build on the experience and knowledge which pupils bring from their home lives. We are blessed to have the Friends of St Ambrose Barlow School (FOSABS), our Parents' Association which not only raises funds for the school but also provides fantastic social events for parents and children throughout the school year. We offer a broad and balanced curriculum enriched with visitors, visits, events, and activities to inspire in each child a joy for learning. Our Catholic ethos focuses on our expectations that our children are honest and respectful, care for others, develop their self-worth and work hard to develop skills that will allow them to be good citizens and achieve success now and in the future. The school has a very strong academic record as well as an excellent reputation for pastoral care. We were delighted with our last Ofsted report which commented on many outstanding features of the school, and our SAT results are consistently well above average. Our vision at St Ambrose Catholic Primary School is to provide an excellent standard of education, within a stimulating Catholic environment, by committed and caring professionals. Inclusion of all is our central goal based on our belief that we are all created in the image of God. Aims of the School: To develop a Christ-centred community in which the Catholic faith is nurtured and where respect for other world religions is fostered. To establish an environment and ethos (clearly understood values and attitudes) in which each pupil develops self-awareness and self-discipline to accept social responsibility within the school and society at large. To provide a safe, happy and caring environment in which individuals have the opportunity to develop their spiritual, moral, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, social, cultural, and physical potential. To recognize and meet the needs of our pupils by promoting the highest possible standards of achievement for each child. To provide a broad, balanced, relevant, and differentiated curriculum, including the requirements of the National Curriculum, to develop each child's potential. To encourage and nurture independence in children which forms a strong basis for them to become life-long learners. To foster in children a sense of awe and wonder for God's created world and to have an awareness of their unique place within it. To develop our pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of adult life. As a Catholic School, our religious ethos is to be found across the whole curriculum and not just within religious education lessons. The aim of the school is the Christian growth of the child. Parents are closely involved in the preparation of their children for the Sacrament of the Eucharist through the parish-based program. The school follows the Birmingham Diocesan religious education program, 'Learning and Growing as the People of God. St Ambrose Barlow School is committed to the fostering of a spirit of justice and universal brotherhood, by the message of the Gospel and the teachings of the Catholic Church. In particular, it recognizes the need to prepare pupils for life in a multicultural society by fostering respect for and understanding of rich cultural diversity, and by seeking to counter racist and discriminatory attitudes.
