Eton Star Oldham College Approved for Town Centre
Oldham Council confirmed the Eton Star Oldham project will proceed after the government concluded its national review of the proposals. The new college will be constructed in Oldham town centre on the current Tommyfield Market car park site. This initiative partners Eton College and Star Academies to deliver a new education model for local youth. Council Leader Cllr Arooj Shah stated the project aims to remove barriers and raise aspirations for pupils from all backgrounds. Detailed next steps now include design, delivery, and engagement with families and communities. The project positions Oldham as one of the first locations in the country to adopt this specific educational approach.
