Salford City Academy

About Us

Judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2022, the school has continued to expand and improve year on year.

Salford City Academy sits within the top schools in Salford for progress in the DFE’s performance tables. In 2025 students achieved 72% in both English and Maths. Progress for pupil premium students has narrowed with academic results at the academy improving year on year.  We are highly ambitious to be one of the highest-performing schools in the Northwest.

Our ‘Culture of Excellence’ values underpin everything we do, from strategic planning to lesson delivery and House events!  Our values support academic achievement and personal growth so that students leave us prepared for the next exciting chapter in their lives.
