We celebrate record-breaking turnout for our Open Evening

Year 6 families get ready to apply for a place to start in September 2024

We were thrilled to see such a fantastic turnout for our annual Open Evening on 28th September – as Year 6 families get ready to apply for a place to start in September 2024.

There was a great buzz around the Academy as more than 80 families took part in various subject activities with our teachers to get a taste of life as a Manchester Academy student.

 Among the highlights were live chemistry and physics experiments with Ms Evans and her team in Science, flying drones with Ms Rashid, cake decorating with Mrs Stack and an inflatable penalty shootout with Manchester United Foundation. They also had chance to meet our Senior Leaders plus experience a tour around our facilities. 

Principal Mr Eldon delivered his presentation to a packed hall. He said afterwards:

“It was great to see such an excellent turnout for our Open Evening. It was wonderful to meet so many children from our local primary schools and their Parents/Carers and find out more about their child’s future as a potential Manchester Academy student.

“We are privileged to spend time talking about the support we can offer, and we can’t wait to meet many of them again following National Offer Day early next year.”

We are now offering tours around our school up until application deadline on 31st October, for those who were unable to attend. They can be booked via this link.

This is a fantastic opportunity for families to familiarise themselves with the Manchester Academy building and meet our staff.

We hope everyone enjoyed finding out lots more about our wonderful school and our amazing transformational journey!

The deadline to apply is 31st October and can be done through Manchester City Council’s website.
