The Elton High School is a mixed secondary school located on Walshaw Road to the north-west of Bury town centre in Greater Manchester, England.
The Elton High School was recognised as "Good" school with "Outstanding" features by Ofsted following inspection in 2009. The English Department was inspected in November 2010 and it was found that the overall effectiveness of English within the school was "Outstanding".[2] In February 2015, the school was graded "requires improvement" in all areas. The school was most recently graded "Good" following an Ofsted inspection in January 2017.
