Urmston Grammar

“Pupils, including students in the sixth form, are happy and proud to be part of this welcoming school community. They work hard and are highly motivated. Their behaviour matches the high expectations that their teachers have of them. In lessons, pupils relish the academic rigour that teachers expect from them. As a result, most pupils and students in the sixth form, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send), achieve well across a range of subjects. Bullying incidents are rare and pupils told inspectors that they felt safe in school. Sixth-form students act as positive role models for younger pupils, for example through the peer-mentoring schemes and peer-to-peer reading programmes. Pupils respect each other’s differences. They spoke highly of the opportunities that they have to support their understanding of diversity.”
