"Teachers have good subject knowledge. They select appropriate activities to support pupils to learn the intended curriculum".
"The school has introduced a rigorous and well-structured approach to assessment. This supports staff to deliver the curriculum effectively, pre-empting pupils’ difficulties, identifying misconceptions and gaps in pupils’ knowledge and then using this information to plan for future learning".
The school’s behaviour management system is underpinned by the trust’s values, including ‘be yourself always’ and ‘succeeding together’…pupils live up to these values and are considerate towards each other.
"Learning is rarely disrupted by poor behaviour".

"Much of teaching is now good"
"The leadership team, with strong support from the Interim Executive Board (IEB) and the Local Authority, have embedded a clear vision and ambition for the future of Failsworth School."
"Pupils behave appropriately around the building, where they are unfailingly polite and respectful"
"Pupils who met with inspectors were of the view that in many classes work was now harder, questioning more challenging and the marking and feedback they received more helpful."
Ofsted recognised "The school is popular with the local community. It is oversubscribed and the great majority of parents and carers who completed a school parental survey were supportive of the school and its leadership."
