    We were proud to welcome back our Year 11 pupils as they collected their exam results on Thursday 25 August. 

    The class of 2022 were the first year group to take the full set of exams after the COVID pandemic. We were extremely proud of our pupils who continued to display the academy’s values of respect, commitment and trust throughout their key stage 4 years to overcome the hurdles put in their way by the lockdowns.

    The overall results for the year group were proof that their hard work and dedication had paid off.

    Our pupils have achieved the grades they need to unlock the next steps in their journeys. Many pupils are moving on to college courses such as A-Levels, whilst others are planning on taking up apprenticeships. 

    Sharon Hands, Principal said:

    “Everyday, but especially today, I’m hugely proud of our pupils, their teachers and support staff. 

    Together and individually they have produced a strong set of results and we thank them for their commitment to us and trust in us.

  • High School Musical JNR: Pupils Wow Audiences with Two Fantastic Performances

    Published 24/08/22

    In July 2022 pupils got their head in the game and performed two knockout performances of High School Musical JNR.

    In this adaption from the 2006 Disney Channel Original Movie High School Musical our very own North Manchester Wildcats performed songs including ‘Get’Cha Head in the Game’ ‘Stick to the Status Quo’ and ‘We’re All in This Together’.

    The performance included a large cast of pupils from all year groups, as well as behind the scenes supporters made up of staff and pupils who contributed to the set & costume designs.

    Academy Principal, Ms Hands was proud to support the show, saying that “At Co-op Academy North Manchester we have the highest aspirations and expectations so that everyone achieves excellence in all that they do. The performing arts have an important role in our broad and balanced curriculum and these kinds of experiences will stay with our pupils for a lifetime. It was a pleasure to watch the performances and welcome the whole community to our academy to enjoy this show.”

    Miss Siddiqui, Teacher of Performing Arts said: “Teaching the value of the theatre was paramount throughout the crafting of the show. Challenging pupils in this artistic venture rewarded their courage and enabled the participants to decompress and be free to be themselves. As the show gained momentum, everyone put in hard work and dedicated themselves to this opportunity. I am awestruck by their accomplishments and was proud to share this with the community.”

  • Co-op Academy North Manchester Win Envision 2022

    Published 24/08/22

    Envision is a UK Charity who specialise in using social action as a vehicle for young people. Working in partnership with the Co-op Foundation, academies from across the North competed in the Envision Social Action Project.

    Following the launch in March 2022 a group of pupils in Year 8 worked together over a 13 week period to create and plan their own social action campaign. They even had to bid for seed funding before starting their project!

    The project set out to create an anti-racist environment in our community. Pupils worked with their fellow North Manchester pupils and local primary schools to educate and empower them to be actively anti-racist.

    Alongside ten other academies they presented the results of their initiative in front of Dr Chris Tomlinson, CEO of Co-op Academies Trust, Nick Crofts, CEO of Co-op Foundation and Elizabeth Paulson, CEO of Envision UK and were crowned winners!

    A huge well done to all the pupils who took part.
