Here at Co-op Academy North Manchester, we take time to know our pupils and have the highest expectations and aspirations for them. Our pupils are polite and courteous and excellent relationships are at the heart of our success. The academy prides itself on offering a rich curriculum that includes an extensive range of extra-curricular activities and clubs for all pupils which promotes their understanding of the world in which they live and the difference that they can make within it.

Strong leadership has been at the heart of our success. Our leaders are committed and reflective individuals who are themselves empowered, but who also have the ability to both inspire and empower others to realise our academy’s vision. We understand and implement the Co-op Ways of Being of: ‘succeed together’, ‘show you care’, ‘be yourself always’ and ‘do what matters most’, understanding the unique importance of each as well as how they must be implemented together to ensure that success is achieved in the ‘right’ way.
