About Falinge Park High School
Falinge Park High School is a secondary school in Rochdale, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 1,359 pupils aged 11 to 16 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 40.5 — below the national average (national average: 46). Performance is little changed year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of secondary schools nationally.
36% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 55% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. 97% of the families who made Falinge Park High School their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. There are about 15.5 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 46% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Falinge Park High School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
