The school serves two of the most deprived wards in Tameside and a large proportion of pupils are supported by Pupil Premium funding.

SMSC is a strength and permeates our school; positive relationships underpin our harmonious and aspirational ethos. Pastoral systems are strong and a wide variety of support measures are effectively employed to enable pupils to access learning.

A dedicated and talented team of staff work hard to secure the best possible outcomes for all pupils; staff morale is good and our latest Ofsted report shows a clear upwards trajectory.
The most recent (2023) inspection noted that:
