Trafford High School  has provision for 32 full time places. The majority of students have been permanently excluded from school and will be allocated a further school following a period of time at the School. The School also provides ‘Step Out’ places for those students whose behaviour is a cause for concern and schools require additional support and assessment. A number of students are placed at the school during their formal assessment period and before moving to a special school.  Some pupils are dual registered with a mainstream school. Some pupils attend the school as a result of problematic behaviour in their mainstream school, often leading to exclusion or periods of non-attendance.
