Welcome to Laurus Ryecroft, an Ofsted Outstanding secondary school which opened in Tameside in September 2018. Laurus Ryecroft is a member of the Laurus Trust family.
We work hard to ensure that every member of our school community has access to a rich and diverse range of opportunities. For our students, this is provided through our Cornerstones programme which comprises four cornerstones: Academic Aspiration; Leadership and Service; Culture, Creativity and Rhetoric; and Competition and Physical Endeavour. We believe that these four Cornerstones underpin an educational experience which will prepare students for life beyond school and deliver our vision.
At Laurus Ryecroft, your child will be provided with the guidance and support to open the door to the future of their choice, with the prospect of going on to study at our Sixth Form which opened in 2023.
