Katie Eaton - Principal

I have dedicated most of my 17-year teaching career to Salford City Academy, my commitment to our students and their success has always been at the heart of everything I do.  

I’m passionate about delivering quality education while fostering a warm and inclusive environment. I continue to teach GCSE Citizenship, a subject I care deeply about. I also lead the development of our SCA Community Hub, to help strengthen our connections with the wider community.   

My goal is to ensure every student here feels valued, challenged, and supported to reach their full potential.
