Saddleworth School is a community secondary school in Diggle, England, for students in years 7–11.[4]

History

[edit]

First built in 1911[5] as a junior and infants school, Saddleworth School was expanded to a secondary school sometime between 1960 and 1970.

In July 2020, construction of a new campus began at the former site of W.H. Shaw Pallet Works in Diggle at a cost of £27 million.[6] On the 12th of March 2022,[7] the school was moved to the new site.
