Urgent message for all families with a child/children eligible for Free School Meals (FSM)

ACTION NEEDED!

In order for your child to continue receiving free school meals in September, you must apply/reapply before 31st July.

Check your eligibility and apply here. Note – you will need to reapply every year.

If this is not done, your child will not get their free food entitlement.

Alternatively, if you would like us to apply annually on your behalf, complete this form.

Year 10 Progress Review Reports

Progress Review Reports have been emailed to parents and carers of all Year 10 students this week. The reports include students' mock exam grades.

If you haven't received your child's report, please get in touch.

Summer Reading Challenge!

This summer, we are challenging students to the Co-op Academy Manchester Summer Reading Bingo!

Reading is one of the best ways to explore new worlds, learn new things, and keep those brain muscles active ready for the new school year. But we don't just want our students reading at a desk—we want them to have fun with it!

Our Bingo challenge has lots of exciting and quirky prompts to get students stuck into a good book.

We want to see how students are getting on!

Help us celebrate their efforts by taking a quick photo of your child completing one of the Bingo challenges and sharing it with us on social media:

There is nothing quite like watching a young person find their voice and run with it; that is exactly what happened with Sophia in Year 7.
