The Elton High School is a mixed secondary school located on Walshaw Road to the north-west of Bury town centre in Greater Manchester.
The Elton High School has been recognised as "Good" school with "Outstanding" features by Ofsted following inspection in 2009. The English Department was inspected in November 2010 and it was found that the overall effectiveness of English within the school was "Outstanding".[1] The school was recently graded "requires improvement" in March 2015 following a recent Ofsted.[2] inspection in February 2015. The Elton High School will see Ofsted to return within the next 24 months but the headteacher, Mr Adrian Calvert, opposes against the report and feels that this report "does not mirror the quality of the school that our pupils receive on a daily basis". Mr Adrian Calvert is determined to improve the quality of teaching when Ofsted said that teaching of Maths, English and Science where "Teaching over time is consistently strong in humanities, languages, art and physical education but remain inconsistent in English, mathematics and science, where outcomes for some groups, especially disadvantaged, lower- and middle-ability students, require improvement".
