Please encourage your child to attend school every day:
Just 17 days absence from school a year could mean a drop in GCSE grades in all subjects.

Regular school attendance is essential if children are to achieve their full potential.

Manchester Academy believes that regular school attendance is the key to enabling children to maximise the educational opportunities available to them and become emotionally resilient, confident and competent adults who are able to realise their full potential and make a positive contribution to their community.

 

Students need to be at the Manchester Academy at 8:25am each day. Should a student arrive after 9am, they will get an unauthorised absence mark. We run Magic Breakfast and 'Breakfast Ballers' at 8am in the canteen, and Breakfast Ballers on the Astro, and students are permitted to be in the building from then onwards. Students who arrive after 9:01am will receive 0% attendance that morning and this will cap their attendance for the day to 50%.

We understand that there are times where being late could be unavoidable. In these instances, please call reception on the number at the bottom of the page and inform us of the time they will arrive.
