We would like to share with everyone some very positive feedback from a recent visitor to the school, the below is testament to our staff and young people and how they make the Academy a wonderful place to learn.

Our company (Emanuel Whittaker Ltd of Oldham) attended your Academy yesterday, invited by Salix Homes, as part of the ‘Have A Go’ event, providing a Tiling Taster Session. I would just like to thank the organiser(s) for a very good event in which the students were interested and very willing to participate in all of the different types of construction stations around the room.

We attend various events like this around the North West on a similar theme, however, I would like to pass on my congratulations to the school, the teachers but mostly to the students themselves as we have NEVER been as overwhelmed by the courteous and well mannered student body that we met. As part of our session, in order to protect their school uniform, we provided them with a disposable apron and after the taster, we gave them a face wipe in order to wipe their hands if they had any excessive tile adhesive on them. Every single student, without fail, thanked us for the apron, for the tiling demonstration / tuition and for the face wipe. We were very impressed with their manners and would like you to thank them on our behalf. We would be more than happy to repeat this exercise at a future date.

Thank you once again.
