About Droylsden Academy

Droylsden Academy is an 11-16 Co-Educational School in Tameside, Greater Manchester. It is currently rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted (2022 and 2017). The Academy serves over 900 students and employs over 100 teachers and support staff. The school is heavily over-subscribed, has an impressive state -of-the art modern building and is in a very strong financial position.

The Tame River Educational Trust was founded in January 2022, with Droylsden Academy as its founding member.  Our Multi Academy Trust (MAT) is a sponsored Trust (sponsored by Tameside College and Clarendon Sixth Form) and currently has one secondary school and an Associate Member secondary school (soon to become a full member).

Our Trust mission is to challenge educational and social disadvantage by hosting a family of great community-based schools in which to learn, teach and belong. Our Trust promotes learning, develops character, values diversity and builds cultural capital. By the age of 16 we want every student to progress to suitably challenging post-16 studies or apprenticeships.
