The Elton High School
Behaviour Mentor
We are looking for an enthusiastic and energetic person to join our school as a Behaviour Mentor within
our supportive and experienced Student Support team as soon as possible.
The Elton High School is a significantly oversubscribed school with a tradition of excellence. We have a
history of high achievement with results regularly placing us as amongst the highest performing schools in
Bury LA and amongst the top proportion of schools in the country. The successful applicant will be part of
a strong team who provide dedicated support to all of our students whilst working alongside the teaching
staff.
Our most recent Ofsted inspection (February 2026) reiterated the strengths that had been confirmed in
the previous reports. The inspection team noted that “Pupils describe feeling happy, safe and proud of
their school.” Our students achieve well, with the inspectors being particularly impressed with
relationships between students and staff, describing them as “warm, respectful and trusting.”
The Student Support Team is a collegiate and supportive team, who have worked hard to provide a high
standard of care to all our students.
We have a constant focus on ensuring that all of our team feel supported to give of their best and to have
a work life balance. We pride ourselves on taking a proactive approach to promoting the wellbeing of
everyone in our school community. Our staff enjoy working here, so this is a rare opportunity to join our
staff in a key role, contributing to our next steps in pushing Elton to realise its potential as one of the very
best schools in the Greater Manchester area. Visits to the school are welcomed. Please contact the
Deputy Headteacher, James Tomlinson (tomlinsonj@eltonhigh.bury.sch.uk) to arrange.
The school has excellent transport links with the M60, M61, M62 and M66 Motorways crisscrossing the
area plus the Metrolink Light Rapid Transit system with a fast and frequent service from Bury centre
through Manchester city centre to East Didsbury.
This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and
expects all staff to share this commitment.
Appointment is subject to a satisfactory enhanced disclosure from the DBS.
