The inspection team noted that ‘pupils are proud to attend’ Elton with an established culture of ‘high aspirations for what pupils can achieve’. Our students achieve well, with the inspectors being particularly impressed with the climate for learning and behaviour of our students – their ‘positive behaviour at all times is characteristic of the respectful culture of this school [and] their positive conduct reflects leaders’ high standards’.
Recent successes of our school have been based on a relentless focus on teaching and learning. We have a strong system of staff training in place aimed at developing the very best practice while we have a constant focus on ensuring that all of our team feel supported to give of their best and to have a work life balance. We pride ourselves on taking a proactive approach to promoting the wellbeing of everyone in our school community. Our teachers enjoy working here, so this is a rare opportunity to join our staff in a key subject area, contributing to our next steps in pushing Elton to realise its potential as one of the very best schools in the Greater Manchester area.
The school has excellent transport links with the M60, M61, M62 and M66 Motorways crisscrossing the area plus the Metrolink Light Rapid Transit system with a fast and frequent service from Bury centre through Manchester city centre to East Didsbury.
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment.

Ofsted report
“Consistently good teaching in languages, humanities, art and physical education enables students to achieve well from their starting points. The most able students do well because they are given work that challenges them to achieve their potential. Leaders’ work to improve students’ attendance has been effective. Attendance is above average. Students enjoy coming to school.”
