Ramadan Mubarak
Ramadan Mubarak to all of our students and families who are observing this holy month. Wishing you a month filled with peace, reflection, and blessings.
Free School Meals and fasting
If your child is entitled to Free School Meals and is fasting throughout the day, we can prepare a grab bag of food that they can save until it's time to break the fast. Please contact reception if you would like us to arrange this.
Our annual parent and carer survey is now live!
The survey asks about all aspects of academy life and takes around 15 minutes.
We are asking for your views until Friday 7 March.
Thank you to everyone who came to our SEND Coffee Morning last week
We are grateful to those parents and carers who joined our coffee morning.
We know that, across the country, parents and carers of children with SEND can sometimes feel that they are alone - we want these mornings to assure parents that they are not alone and to build a supportive community of parents helping each other. In addition, this is a really useful opportunity for us to update you on developments for children with SEND in the school.
Dates of our next meetings:
Thursday 1 May 2025, 9:15 - 11am
Thursday 12 June 2025, 9:15 - 11am
Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street - coming to our Theatre in July
Students from the academy and 9 other schools are joining forces to put on a spectacular show this July in Co-op Academy Manchester's theatre.
How to help your child with homework
Students should complete homework to revise and go beyond what they learn in class.
Our simple approach asks students to follow the 10:10:10 pattern each day - 10 minutes of Sparx Reader, 10 minutes of Sparx Maths and 10 minutes revising from their Knowledge Expert Sheets.
