A Bury secondary school, where pupils are “inspired to make a difference”, has celebrated maintaining a ‘good’ status after an Ofsted inspection.

Pupils at Derby High School, on Radcliffe Road, were said to be eager to work hard, keen to succeed and inspectors said that learning is not interrupted by bad behaviour.

Both teachers and leaders have also been praised for doing all they can to meet the needs of young people, including those who are at a disadvantage.

The report has highlighted a range of enrichment activities and opportunities that the school provides and excitement for past and upcoming school productions.

Helen Hubert, Headteacher at Derby High School, said: “It is a great privilege to serve as Headteacher at The Derby High School and I am hugely proud of everything we have accomplished.

“We are incredibly ambitious for all our young people and, as a staff and governing body, work exceptionally hard to provide an exciting and relevant curriculum.

“Partnerships we develop with our parents and the local community are hugely important to us and we work well together.
