These describe the surroundings, never the site. Three distances, each for a reason: 500 metres is the streets nearest the gate, about six minutes' walk; a kilometre takes in the routes in; a mile is the area UK Crime Statistics ranks against every other mile in England and Wales.

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH) across Manchester

Harm and risk outside the home (ROTH): share of assessments, Manchester against England, the widest gap above England first

Manchester England

  • Going missing 5% against 3.3%
  • Child criminal exploitation 3.8% against 3.2%
  • Trafficking 0.9% against 0.4%
  • Gangs 2% against 1.7%
  • Physical abuse by another child 3% against 3%
  • Child sexual exploitation 2.1% against 2.4%
  • Sexual abuse by another child 1.2% against 2.5%

This describes what social workers record for the whole authority, never this school or its pupils, and a higher share can reflect better identification as easily as more harm.

About this school's place in the register

Eden Girls' Leadership Academy, Manchester is listed in the Department for Education's register of schools, Get Information About Schools, under unique reference number 144745. Its type in the register is "Free schools", in the group the Department calls "Free Schools". It is part of STAR ACADEMIES, a trust whose schools share governance and, usually, safeguarding policy. Its UK provider reference number is 10064835. The register was last checked on 7 November 2026, and this entry last changed on 25 September 2026.

Its phase of education is secondary. The statutory age range is 11 to 18, which is the span of ages the school is registered to admit; the routes children take to the gate, and how independently they travel, follow from it. The intake is recorded as girls. Its religious character is Muslim. At the last school census 659 pupils were on roll, and 45.6 percent of them were eligible for free school meals, a register figure the report never uses to describe pupils. The register holds a website address for the school, linked below.

The school is in England, at postcode M8 8DT. Its grid reference is easting 384808, northing 400209, which is latitude 53.4984 and longitude -2.2305. That point is the centre of everything the safeguarding context report measures: the streets within a short walk, the parks, stops and stations nearby, the roads at the gate, and the neighbourhood statistics that surround it.

Eden Girls' Leadership Academy, Manchester sits in the Manchester local authority area, which has 220 open establishments in the register. The local authority is one of the three statutory safeguarding partners, with the integrated care board and the police, who together publish the local safeguarding arrangements and the threshold document a school's child protection policy refers to; the authority also sets out its early help offer, so the same authority context applies to every school in Manchester.

The nearest schools in the register to Eden Girls' Leadership Academy, Manchester are Eden Boys' Leadership Academy, Manchester (about 190 metres away), St Malachy's RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy (about 460 metres away), St Chad's Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy (about 520 metres away), Saviour CofE Primary School (about 530 metres away) and Oasis Academy Temple (about 590 metres away). Distances are straight lines between grid references, not walking routes. Schools close together share many of the same streets, stops and parks, but each page and report is measured from that school's own site.
