Although this is the Autumn Term, we have had a wonderful week’s weather and this has meant the students have been able to go outside and enjoy the sunshine. I want to thank all of our students for continuing to support the measures we have in place to protect our community from Coronavirus.

It has been an amazing first week back at Manchester Academy. There has been a lot to take in for students but by midweek, the new routines and systems were running like clockwork.

Our Principal Mr Eldon talks to Anna Jameson about Manchester Academy being chosen to launch the world premiere of Stormzy's new video Superheroes! Making Manchester Magic.

Manchester Academy's Year 7 students have settled in brilliantly on their first day at high school

Manchester Academy's Year 11 students celebrated picking up their GCSE grades this morning.

It is strange to approach the end of term without the usual celebrations and end of year events. We have enjoyed having Y10 with us over this half-term and the attendance to the online lessons Manchester Academy has offered has continued to be strong.

Our Executive Principal has been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award for his services to education

Yesterday the Government announced some fantastic news – all students will return to Manchester Academy in September. There will be changes in place to make sure we are all safe, but we will be welcoming all students back and are so excited to plan for the next academic year in a more ‘normal’ way.

Thank you to all our families for supporting the first week of our new online timetable. We have received national attention for being one of the few state schools in the country to be offering such a comprehensive online teaching curriculum for all our students.
