History

Previously a foundation school administered by Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council, Abraham Guest High School converted to academy status in January 2012, having been controlled by the governing body of Winstanley College via the Winstanley Abraham Guest Trust, and also as an academy sponsor[3] until it was taken over by The Dean Trust, at which point it was renamed Dean Trust Wigan in April 2017[4] as it joined a trust of good and outstanding schools across the North West.,[5] 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.[6] The school also offers adult education courses in the evening.[7]
