Co-op Academy Manchester Parent Portal - Weekly bulletin for parents and carers

The main way we contact parents and carers is via the Arbor Parent Portal. All communications, detention notifications and information about trips are sent via Arbor.

Frankenstein

Please be aware that the new Netflix film 'Frankenstein' is not loyal to the novel that students study as part of their English Literature GCSE.

Characters' names have been changed, their behaviour differs from the novel and the plot has been altered.

Some students may find that watching the film confuses their understanding of the plot and characters.

Community Fridge update

Our Community Fridge has been relocated - it will now be accessed via Gate 1. This will enable us to open the Fridge more often and during the school day.

New opening days and times will be communicated as soon as possible.
