EXECUTIVE HEAD TEACHER'S MESSAGE
Welcome to the Greater Manchester Academy Trust (GMAT) – a small trust of schools from ages 3-16 that aims to be truly aspirational and inclusive for the community of North Manchester.
Our motto is our mantra, ‘with you, for you, about you’ and this translates into a vision that is empowered by deep social insight, embracing and supporting the community way beyond our students and their families.
We strive to provide the highest quality education for young people and believe passionately in the power of an excellent education to transform lives and futures. Through building on our social investment activities, local knowledge, community relationships and strong partnerships we can work in true collaboration to ensure that children thrive and achieve.
We seek to be the place of choice for children to learn and staff to work. Through an extensive challenging curriculum and best practice in teaching and learning, informed by research and the experiences of our staff, we aim to enhance a child’s life chances by maximising their educational outcomes and experiences. Equal to these high expectations is our belief that children thrive outside the classroom through providing a range of wonderful opportunities that develop true character, confidence and resilience. We invest in our children, their families and our community so that we can all be unwavering in our commitment for a better tomorrow.

HEAD TEACHER'S MESSAGE
I'm Alex Reed, the headteacher here at Manchester Communication Primary Academy (MCPA), thank you for taking the time to find out more about us.
Our school is an incredible community, made up of a fantastically diverse range of pupils, families and colleagues. Together, we work hard to ensure that all of our children achieve the very best that they can. This is achieved through excellent teaching and learning, deep social impact through innovative family support models, and a well-embedded whole school approach to emotional regulation.
The curriculum at MCPA has been thoughtfully constructed to ensure that it develops pupils socially, in addition to their knowledge and skills in a broad and balanced range of subjects. The sequencing of our curriculum is informed by evidence and ensures that powerful prior knowledge is used to underpin learning. The result of this is that our children do well, and go on to achieve great things and learning can transition seamlessly to Manchester Communication Academy.
As part of the Greater Manchester Academies Trust, we are able to shape the learning journey of children from the age of 3, all the way to adulthood - from cradle to career.
I am incredibly proud of our school, the community which it has become, our families and pupils, and our brilliant team of colleagues. We are always happy to show it off, so if you would like to come and experience MCPA for yourself, do get in touch!
