Our teachers are looking forward to meeting you at our Year 7 Progress Evening on Thursday 9 May, between 4 and 7pm.

This is an in-person event taking place at the academy. 

We hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable break during the school holidays. We now enter the final term of the year - a very important time for all our students. 

⏰ Lessons start at 8.30am
📅 It's timetable Week A
✏️ Bring your equipment
👍 Show our Ways of Being Co-op
🦸🏾‍♂️ Be a Co-op Hero - those who maintain 100% behaviour, attendance and punctuality will be invited to be part of our next Rewards Events

We would like to remind families that from this week, students will no longer be able to go into debt on their lunch accounts. Please ensure your child has sufficient balance on their account - the easiest way is to view your Parent Pay account. 

For any students who take the 708 yellow school bus, please note that a new company now operates the service as part of the Bee Network. Students need to have their igo cards with them to access the school fares. For more information please visit the TfGM school bus website.

🏋️‍♂️ A big well done to Year 11 for their hard work during mock exams. This week there are still some mock exams for some options subjects. Year 11 will receive their results in a special mock results morning in a few weeks' time. 

🌱 🐝 As we move in to spring, we are pleased to announce that we have some new after-school clubs starting. A new Year 7,8,9 Gardening Club starts this week (Tuesdays, meeting in Science 4). We will be planting vegetable seeds and planning our new allotment area. And our Beekeeping Club is open to all years - students are asked to collect an application form from the Science Department if they are interested.  

February 2024 saw our spectacular production of Little Shop of Horrors.

It’s now been a full year since we opened Higher Blackley’s Community Fridge to the whole community. It’s open every Tuesday between 3 and 4pm.
