Meet our new Drama teacher, Amy! 🎭✨
We are absolutely thrilled to introduce the newest member of our Stagecoach East Manchester family! Please give a massive, warm welcome to Amy, our new afternoon school Drama teacher!
Amy will be joining us starting this very week, and she will be co-teaching alongside Abi for her final Saturday. We are so excited to have her on board!
Amy brings an incredible amount of passion, energy, and creativity with her, and we just know the children are going to have the absolute best time getting to know her. This week is the perfect opportunity for the students to welcome Amy to the team while giving Abi the send-off she deserves.

🎤✨ Why do we sing? ✨🎤
Singing is so much more than just music — it’s confidence, creativity, and joy all in one!
It helps children develop strong breathing and posture, boosts memory and focus, and supports language and communication skills. 🎶📚
It’s also a brilliant way to lift mood, reduce stress, and give children a safe space to express themselves. 🤍
And best of all… it brings people together. Listening, blending, and performing as a group builds teamwork and confidence that lasts far beyond the classroom. 🌟
At the heart of it all — singing just makes you feel good! 🎵💫
