What the school offers its staff

About Star Salford Academy

Star Salford Academy is a 5-form entry mixed secondary school for 11 to 16 year-olds, which was opened by Star Academies in September 2023. Like all Star schools, Star Salford Academy has a leadership specialism.

In July 2026, the school had its first Ofsted inspection, securing ‘Strong standard’ in four areas and ‘Expected standard’ in one area, reflecting the strong foundations established since the school opened. We were graded ‘Needs attention’ in one area (specifically attendance), and we are continuing to implement a wide range of strategies with parents, carers and families to improve this.

We provide a knowledge-based academic curriculum alongside a rich and diverse leadership programme that grows character and inspires charitable and social action. Our pursuit of educational excellence is based upon our fundamental belief that every pupil has the capacity to become a successful and inspirational leader.
