Through Salford City Academy’s Culture of Excellence, the highest standards underpin all aspects of our provision, enabling students to thrive. As a school, we are committed to inclusive practice, removing barriers and supporting all students in their transition to safe, happy and successful post-16 pathways and adult life. By rewarding and recognising students who consistently demonstrate our REACT values, we promote the development of metacognitive skills.

We are dedicated to developing partnerships between students, staff, governors, parents / carers and the wider community to realise this vision.

The Maths department at Salford City Academy aims to secure retention of knowledge and a depth of learning which results in students who are confident in taking their studies to the next level, whether that be further qualifications, higher education or into the workplace. The department achieves strong GCSE outcomes, that are testament to the hard work of the staff and students.

In recent years our results have been some of the best in Salford. As a team, we are committed to continuing to strive for better in our provision for students. The focus of the curriculum is to develop procedural knowledge of the fundamental elements of mathematics in order for students to access further problem-solving elements and reason mathematically. We enjoy working collaboratively and engage in regular CPD to continue to develop our practice.
