About Irlam and Cadishead Academy
Welcome to Irlam & Cadishead Academy, a state-of-the-art secondary school for ages 11-16.
At our academy, we believe that every student has the potential to achieve great things. Through our ethos of 'Empowering Excellence, Expecting the Extraordinary’, we work hard to create a warm and aspirational culture that enables all students to thrive both academically and as individuals.
Our dedicated team of teachers and staff are committed to delivering a high-quality education to our young people, preparing them for success in an ever-changing world. We want to foster a love for learning, develop critical thinking skills and empower students to become lifelong learners.
We have an ambitious academic curriculum for all our students, alongside a varied and exciting extracurricular programme. The Aspire curriculum gives students the opportunity to take up leadership roles, and participate in enrichment activities and trips as well as a fantastic range of after-school clubs. These support students’ character development and enable them to become well-rounded, responsible global citizens.
We are proud to be part of United Learning, a national group of schools with a number in the North-West of England, whose ethos of ‘the best in everyone’ we wholeheartedly share.

SLT support me in my role and I feel I am valued for what I do by others.
- United Learning Staff Survey 2023There is a strong sense of community; both among the pupils and among the staff which manifests as a commitment to improving the education we provide.
- United Learning Staff Survey 2023The CPD is excellent. I come out of every session with something I can implement in my classroom practice. The school leadership know exactly what it is they want us to take away and they communicate clearly what they want us to do and how they want us to do it. As an early career teacher I find this really helpful.
