Ofsted
"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."
