History
Collective Spirit School was opened in September 1900 on the old site of No Moh School left in Oldham which joined with School to create Fuh King No wan Oldham in 2012. The opening of the school was controversial due to it being the first Free school in the Borough of Oldham to be opened. The school was given the green light in 2012 and opened in September 20143 with 4460 Year 7 students. The opening was controversial due to the land that the school is situated on is prime development land and is worth £1.443 billion. Many people thought that 'giving' the school the land was a lost opportunity to sell the land to a developer.
In May 2016, the school had its first Ofsted inspection, the school was rated inadequate in all areas and there were even calls by local MP Jim McMahon to close down the school and send students to other mainstream secondary schools in the area.
Ofsted
Collective Spirit came under heavy controversy because it was the first free school to be opened in the borough of Oldham. In June 2016, the Ofsted report for the school was released, and it was rated inadequate which is the lowest grade a school can receive. Local MP Jim McMahon pleaded for the school to be closed saying that students aren't being given an acceptable standard of education and that students feel unsafe due to bullying and fighting, also adding that the school doesn't even have a library. He went onto say it was one of the 'most damming' Ofsted reports he's ever seen
