Read MoreCelebrating our Class of 2022!
Published 06/09/22It was so great to see our Year 11s again as they collected their GCSE results on Thursday 25th August.
They were the first year group to sit full examinations after the COVID pandemic. We were so proud of all our students who didn’t let this get in their way and went on to achieve amazing results this summer.
This year’s record results prove that their hard work and dedication had paid off. They have been a model cohort and we wish them all the best of luck in their future studies in A-Levels, College or apprenticeships.
Headteacher Phill Quirk said…
“We are very proud of the Class of 2022 for their record exam results. Congratulations to them for their hard work and we wish them well in their post-16 progress.”

Published 30/06/22As part of Pride Month, Manchester City and City in the Community have spent time learning more about our LGBTQ+ Club!
Our Pride Club was established at the beginning of the 2021/22 academic year, providing a social space for students who identify as LGBTQ+ or as allies.
The group has grown quickly from its inception with between 40 and 50 students attending weekly meetings discuss important people in the local community, their role models or talking points and issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community.
Keen to learn more about the group’s activities, City goalkeeper Scott Carson joined the group on a virtual call at the beginning of Pride Month – a worldwide celebration throughout June – to discuss what the group meant to each of its members.
