The Academy is at a very exciting phase in its development. New Leadership last academic year brought new opportunities for all. The academy realised ‘substantial’ improvements to progress in the 2015 GCSE outcomes and these improvements placed us as the fourth most improved school in the City. The recent Inspection report noted students’ ‘positive attitudes to learning’ and described the school as ‘a calm, positive place to be.’

During this term, MCMA will be joining the Co-operative Academies Trust. The Trust already has seven successful academies in Leeds, Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent and is ideally placed to support the academy as it continues to drive forward on its journey to excellence.
