Co-op Academy Manchester

It was great to see so many at our Let's Grow Together event this morning. 🎉

We welcomed neighbours and local families, plus the brilliant children, staff and volunteers from the Equal Education Chances holiday club. We loved planting together and making our school community even stronger.

🌻 We would love to see how your sunflowers grow! Please tag us in your pictures!

A huge thank you to AwesomeBooks for your kind donation to our book swap and Co-op for the little library to display all our lovely books in! 📚

Congratulations to this week's 'Golden Ticket Draw' winner, Fallou. 🙌 Fallou added a whopping 16 Golden Tickets 🎫 to the draw this week as well as showing GREAT behaviours this half term.

Our Year 9 students have been building their confidence in IT lessons this week.

In their "All About Me" presentations, they learned how to share their own stories by turning information into clear visuals.

Learning to present clearly is a skill that helps our young people succeed in life and future careers.

We recently said a fond farewell to Richard and his therapy dog, Lola, after seven wonderful years. 🐾

Lola has been a calming friend to our students, helping them feel safe and focused in school. Richard’s dedication has helped so many of our young people believe in themselves and their future.

Thank you both for everything! ❤️

Every week teachers give out Golden Tickets to students who show GREAT attitudes and have outstanding work 🙌. This week students in Year 7-10 have also shown their appreciation for teachers by giving them their own special Golden Tickets. Our staff have been blown away by all the lovely comments written on them. 🙏
