About Us

Welcome to Outwood Academy Hindley. Part of the Outwood Family of Schools, we are proud of our journey and our ‘Good’ Ofsted rating, and we are working towards Exceptional status while building a strong, supportive community.
Students are at the heart of everything we do. We provide an education that challenges, inspires, and empowers learners. Our dedicated staff create a positive, inclusive environment where students can thrive, develop talents, and achieve their full potential.
Learning extends beyond the classroom. We promote respect, curiosity, and collaboration, helping students become confident, responsible, and engaged members of school and wider community.
Since joining the Outwood Family, we have embraced its core values: putting students first, raising standards, and transforming lives.
At Outwood Academy Hindley, we are more than a school — we are a community committed to learning, growth, and achievement for all.
