"Pupils are proud to attend Droylsden Academy" "Pupils are happy and accepting of each other's differences."

The school is a place where they can be themselves. Teachers' expectations of pupils' behaviour and academic achievement are high, and pupils rise to these standards. Pupils behave well and work hard and are expected to develop their character and confidence. They develop leadership skills and are well prepared for life in modern Britain. Teachers are successful in helping pupils to deepen their understanding of ideas and concepts across the curriculum. Effective support helps pupils remember more over time. An extensive programme of pastoral support and life lessons ensures that pupils learn about healthy relationships and the wider world. Pupils benefit from an extensive range of extra-curricular clubs.

Droylsden Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff to share this commitment.
