Our Vision
As a Church of England school, we aim to provide an education for life, enabling all of our school community to flourish and live life to the full.
An education that promotes ‘flourishing’ and ‘life in all its fullness’ means we …
- Celebrate the uniqueness of every person, recognising the divine image in each individual and supporting them to thrive academically, socially, morally and spiritually
- Create a place of belonging, where all are seen, valued and supported to grow in wellbeing, character and faith
- Inspire lives of purpose, where everyone can be a courageous advocate, helping to build a better world and reflecting the love and hope of Jesus
The vision is lived out daily through our shared mantra:
Work Hard, Be Kind, Make a Difference
Our Values
- Faith
- Hope
- Love
- Wisdom

Our Story
A school with a church foundation has existed on this site for 94 years. In 1932, All Saints Senior Church School was founded for the ‘nurture of the hearts and minds of the children’ of Wigan. In 1970, All Saints School, alongside St Mark’s Boys’ School and St Matthew’s Girls’ School, closed to allow the formation of a new high school. For the last 56 years, The Deanery Church of England High School has honoured that rich legacy and has been a beacon of distinctive Christian education for generations. Our school sits in the heart of Wigan and serves young people and families from every parish of our town.
