Heywood Community High School was a secondary school in the Heywood district of the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale in Greater Manchester, United Kingdom.
In 2006 when the position of Headteacher was appointed to David Yates the school's performance improved dramatically, from 10% A*-C GCSE grade to 71% in 2010, the year of the school's closure.
[6][7] The school officially closed on 31 August 2010,[2] as a result of the British Government's Building Schools for the Future strategy.
When the school closed the majority of remaining students were transferred to neighbouring Siddal Moor Sports College[9] and the remainder to Holy Family College.
[1] In the school's last Ofsted report it was found to be outstanding in many areas.
