Overview
Overview
An Islamic all-through model gives Westwood High an unusually long girls' pathway, from age 2 through to sixth form. Nursery-age, senior and post-16 provision sit within the same registered institution, making it distinct from the nearby Westwood Boys School.
The school's Islamic character runs through an education intended for girls across those stages. No boarding is offered, so its identity is rooted in an Oldham day-school community rather than a residential model. It operates under URN 137822 at Kelsall Street and is run by The Green Dome Academy.
An October 2023 independent-school standards inspection found all standards met and safeguarding effective. The inspection included early-years and sixth-form provision as well as the wider school, matching the breadth of Westwood High's age range.
In 2025, Attainment 8 was 54.1. English and maths were at 86.8% for grade 4+ and 84.2% for grade 5+. These figures give the senior years a specific, independently reported academic reference point within the school's all-through model.
