Collaboration

Manchester Academy is represented on a number of bodies, both nationally and locally.

Membership of these is important to demonstrate the Academy's and its sponsors' commitment to the local and wider community and its determination to contribute to the positioning of Manchester as a centre of creativity, culture and research as the "Knowledge Capital”.

The Academy also has close links with the independent, fee paying and selective schools owned and run by the United Church Schools Trust and benefits from being part of the same group of schools. These schools are located across Britain, from Sunderland to Southampton and joint activities are arranged between the Academy and the USCT schools to offer all our students a wide range of learning opportunities. For example, Year 10 and 11 students from Manchester Academy and William Hulme Grammar School regularly come together to mentor our younger students.

We have close links with the other 15 ULT Academies, which opens up other opportunities for our students and we look forward to welcoming more academies to the group soon.
