About Salford City Academy

High achieving school – verified by Ofsted and through our GCSE results. 

Salford City Academy is a highly ambitious and successful 11- 16 academy part of the United Learning Multi-Academy Trust. 

In February 2022 Ofsted judged the academy to continue to be a good school citing:

‘Pupils at Salford City Academy said that they enjoy coming to school to learn. They feel happy and safe at school.’ Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They are polite, courteous and well-mannered. Leaders do not tolerate any derogatory behaviour. Pupils respect each other’s differences.’ 
 
Academic results at the academy have improved significantly since 2019. We were delighted to celebrate well above-average results in 2022 and this summer we continued to achieve within the top three schools in Salford. Results in Maths and Science place us in the country's top 20% of all schools.  

Disruption free learning

We believe passionately that students should learn in a disruption free environment. Our expectations of behaviour are very high, and we believe that all of our students are capable of meeting them. We accept no excuses for disruption to learning or poor behaviour. We have a very clear and well-structured behaviour system which supports this. 

Excellent continuous professional development and collaboration

Salford City Academy is committed to professional development; all staff are expected to actively participate in a programme of continuing professional development (CPD). We work collaboratively, share good practice, and have a Trust-wide approach to development.
