Saint Pius X Catholic High School A Specialist School in Humanities is a co-educational secondary school situated in Wath-upon-Dearne near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England which caters for pupils aged 11 to 16. The school opened in September 1957 with 300 pupils. [2]

Contents

In September 2007 it was awarded specialist status as a Humanities College, and was renamed from Pope Pius X Catholic High School to Saint Pius X Catholic High School A Specialist School in Humanities. It also has Investors in People accreditation. [3]

The school was a voluntary aided school until 1 September 2025, when, as part of a reorganisation of Catholic education within the Diocese of Hallam, it became an academy within the St Francis Catholic Multi Academy Trust. It was the last secondary school in Rotherham to convert to academy status, six-and-a-half years after the penultimate school, the neighbouring Wath Academy.
