Weekly Bulletin for parents and carers, 24 March
Dear parents and carers, please find this week's bulletin below.
We wish a continued Ramadan Mubarak to all of our families who are observing this holy month. Where your child was indicated as Muslim on our admissions form, we have sent a letter explaining our attendance procedures for Eid.
After Easter we are asking families to only pay online (using Arbor) for lunches and trips - we will be a cashless academy. (Help with Arbor available here). Our next co-op Heroes rewards trip to Alton Towers requires a payment of £25 through Arbor - parents and carers of eligible students have been sent the details.

We're moving to Arbor for most messages to parents and carers
From Tuesday 22 April the majority of our messages to parents and carers will be sent through Arbor. We will no longer send My Ed or SMS messages for routine communications.
During the Easter holidays we would ask you to
- Delete the My Ed app - we will no longer use this.
- Make sure you can login to Arbor either using the web portal or the app
- We recommend downloading the app and allowing notifications.
How to tell us if your child is absent
If you need to report your child’s absence, you can call 0161 795 3005 before 8.30am.
Alternatively, you can email manc-attendance@coopacademies.co.uk; after Easter you will also be able to report an absence for the same day on Arbor.
