Oulder Hill Leadership Academy

Proud to host Rochdale schools at the Lord Lieutenant’s Youth Committee. Pupils learnt how we recognise people in our communities from Deputy Lieutenants. They’ll now share with student councils and gather nominations for the next meeting. @GMLO_UK

We are delighted that @oulderhillla has been shortlisted as a Finalist in the Making a Difference-Secondary School of the Year category in The Pearson National Teaching Awards 2026. We’ll be proudly celebrating on National Thank a Teacher Day when the results will be announced

Fantastic to host our Year 9 The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award launch evening! Big thanks to Mrs Lewin and Pam for answering questions and making it so informative. 👏 #DofE

Insightful visit to Hohenschönhausen Memorial, former Stasi prison. Pupils saw cells and interrogation rooms used by the Stasi during the Cold War and asked questions about what life was like in East Berlin. A powerful way to deepen their understanding of Germany’s divided past.

Brilliant visit to the iconic Olympiastadion Berlin today as part of our History trip 🇩🇪 Students explored the stadium built for the 1936 Games, learning about sport, propaganda and the impact of the Nazi regime. A fascinating opportunity to see history brought to life. 🏟️📚
