History

Previously a foundation school administered by Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council, Abraham Guest High School converted to academy status on January 2012 and was renamed Dean Trust Wigan in April 2017[2] as it joined a trust of good and outstanding schools across the North West. The school is now no longer sponsored by Winstanley College,[3] however it continues to coordinate with Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council for admissions.

Academics

DTW offers GCSEs, BTECs and vocational courses as programmes of study for pupils.[4] The school also offers a number of adult education courses in the evening to the local community.[5]

Notable former pupils

• Limahl, pop singer[6]
