Apprentice Administration Assistant

Levenshulme High School is a truly multicultural and diverse community of learners, staff and families and this is a very exciting time in the school’s development.  In September 2014 we became an academy within the Education and Leadership Trust, alongside our sister school Whalley Range High School and Sixth Form, and a Co-operative School. This brings an extra dimension to what we can offer to our students and the outcomes that we can achieve.

The ethos and culture of the school are grounded in tolerance and respect, which are fundamental to the Co-operative values, and we are extremely proud of the way that our students live and learn together.

This is an ambitious school which sets high expectations of staff and students alike, challenging and supporting everyone to be the best that they can be so that, together, we can achieve our dreams. Student leadership is a driving force within the school, and our young women are acquiring the skills and confidence to take their place in 21st century society and careers.
