More than just a school

The Manchester Communication Academy is a new local high school in North Manchester which opened in September 2010 to Year 7 students.

The Academy offers a full range of subjects and specialises in communication – speaking and listening, languages, drama, media and presentation skills, and information communication technology.

Learning is at the students’ own pace, allowing them to take exams as and when they are ready for them. Students are also able to do their homework at the Academy before and after school, with staff from the Academy there to help.

Lessons are inventive and interesting and all students at the Academy are able to use their imagination and grow their talents. The curriculum encourages teamwork, enterprise and collaboration.  Parents can help with studies by accessing online updates, reports and information sessions.
Everyone who comes to the Academy is able to learn by taking part in real life projects with BT, who are a lead partner for the Academy. As a result young people are encouraged and supported in becoming independent and inspired learners.

It has fantastic sports facilities including:

- A large new sports hall
- A full size, all weather, flood-lit sports pitch
- Five grass pitches and three other outdoor games areas

If you would like to hire our sports hall / dance drama theatre (that seats 100 people) or our outdoor floodlit 3G astro pitch please contact Martin Roberts on 0161 202 0161.
