Co-op Academy Walkden


Co-op Academy Walkden is a secondary school in Walkden, Greater Manchester. Formerly on Birch Road, the school is now located on Old Clough Lane, and serves Walkden, Worsley, Linnyshaw, Roe Green, Ellenbrook and Boothstown.
In September 2011, the school moved into a new building off Old Clough Lane as part of the government's BSF agenda, a process whose early planning stages had begun in November 2006. The culmination of that work is a building that offers accommodation for 1,500 pupils.
The new building is available for the community to use during out-of-school hours and this is managed by Salford Community Leisure.
Formerly known as Walkden High School, the school converted to academy status in December 2018 joining the Co-op Academies Trust.
