All Saints Catholic College is a coeducational Roman Catholic secondary school and sixth form with academy status. It is located in Dukinfield in the English county of Greater Manchester.[1]

History

Originally opened in 1962, as St. Peter and Paul's Roman Catholic Secondary School, the school was opened to serve the parishes of St. Mary's Dukinfield, St. Paul's Hyde, and St. Peter's Stalybridge.[2]

Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, All Saints Catholic College converted to academy status on 1 June 2013. The school is part of the St. Anselm's Multi Academy Trust (MAT), administered by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Shrewsbury, and made up of the local Primary Schools in the area.[3]

Education

All Saints Catholic College offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs.[4] The sixth form facility has been provided for in a purpose-built extension to the main school since 1998.

Sixth Form

In November 2014, it was announced the Governing Body at All Saints Catholic College, and Diocese and Directors of the Multi Academy trust, had decided to consult on the proposal not to recruit new Sixth Form students from September 2015. This would, in effect mean that the Sixth Form would close when the current Year 12 students complete their studies in August 2016.[5]

On the 19th December 2014, the College announced that the Sixth Form would close in 2015, after a majority vote from Governors and Directors of the Multi Academy Trust.[6]
