Co-op Academy Manchester is a mixed, non-selective academy.

The academy, based in Higher Blackley in North Manchester, has over 1,600 students on roll and is part of Co-op Academies Trust.

Values and vision

All academies in our Trust are united by our Ways of Being Co-op.

These are:

  • Do what matters most
  • Be yourself, always
  • Show you care
  • Succeed together

Our shared academy vision is for excellence in everything.

Excellence is not an act but a habit. By its very nature, excellence is difficult to measure or quantify. Excellence is difficult to achieve and even harder to maintain.

It is often said that we are what we repeatedly do. Therefore by having habits of excellence we constantly challenge ourselves to be the best that we can be.

Our team

We are looking for colleagues who are up for a challenge; who want to make a real difference to the lives of the children they work with; who are committed to their own professional development and who want to be outstanding teachers, classroom assistants, administrators, leaders, and support workers across a wide range of roles in our academy.

What we offer

  • The opportunity to work in a highly successful academy with a growing reputation as a high-performing educational setting.
  • Significant opportunities for professional development and growth within the academy and the Trust.
  • The opportunity to work under the ethics and values of the Co-op.
  • Co-op Academies Trust benefits package.
