Ms Rashid (Curriculum Area Leader of Computing & Business)

 

Students surprise you every day at Manchester Academy – be that because they have impressed with their aspirations, they’ve made you laugh with a witty comment, or they’ve given an answer that has prompted you to rethink ideas you’ve taught many times before. This is always an exciting place to work, and the staff and students here give off an infectious energy. We are always learning, and always improving, so the future at the Academy is bright.

Mrs Green – Assistant Vice Principal - Quality of Education

 

Manchester Academy is an amazing school because of its wonderfully diverse student population who are a joy to teach due to their enthusiasm and ambition. Colleagues, both inside and outside the department, are highly supportive and knowledgeable and SLT are approachable and visible. We keep growing from strength to strength and I am highly optimistic for our students' and our school's future!
