The Swinton Academy
The Swinton High School : A Converter Academy (Formerly The Swinton High School) came into existence in September 1988 when the Wardley High School and Pendlebury High School merged to form a single 11-16 comprehensive school on one site, located half a mile from Swinton town centre. The Swinton Academy was to be merged with Moorside High School in 2011 to create a single school in Swinton and Pendlebury. This will no longer be taking place. Whilst the buildings vary considerably in age and appearance, internal refurbishment of existing facilities has provided a generally pleasant working environment. A new maths suite, refurbished science labs, an ICT resource area comprising 7 computer rooms together with a further two elsewhere, a new design technology block and refurbished art and library facilities have improved the teaching environment. In the last five years, all seven science laboratories have been completely refurbished in a programme costing over £500,000. Improvements to the school environment have been substantial over the last two weeks and are continuing to do so.

Famous quotes containing the word academy:
“I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike—and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two—are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.”
—Harold Bloom (b. 1930)
