Rewards Day at CMA!💚
Our students have had a fun-filled day for their rewards day, celebrating the brilliant work over this academic year.
We’ve had inflatable slides and sports arenas, plus an ice cream for all! Needed on a day like today! 🍦
🌍✨ Tuesday saw Day 2 of our Culture Week! ✨🌍
It was another fantastic day packed with creativity, culture and inspiration! 💚
Year 7 and Year 8 students kicked off the day with an energetic Hip Hop dance workshop led by Favour from Elevate Young Minds Dance Studio. 🕺
Meanwhile, Year 8 and Year 9 students took part in two engaging workshops delivered by the Manchester Chinese Centre, where they created beautiful dragon lanterns 🐉🏮 and practised the art of Chinese calligraphy 🖌️.
We were also delighted to welcome back several of our amazing alumni! It was wonderful to see Amira, Aneesa and Aeman (Class of 2021) return to deliver lessons before posing proudly beside the Humanities Mosaic they helped create as Year 7 students. ❤️
We were also joined by Maia (Class of 2019), along with Victory, Eloyra, Teasia, Kassy and Daisy (Class of 2025), who all shared their experiences and inspired our Year 10 students through engaging lessons. 🎓
At break time, everyone enjoyed a delicious treat of complimentary chin chin, freshly prepared by our wonderful kitchen staff. 😋🥮
Another brilliant day celebrating culture, creativity and the power of our school community! 🌟 #TheCMAWay
🌍✨ Yesterday marked Day 1 of Culture Week! ✨🌍
Our students of Asian and Arab heritage enjoyed an inspiring visit to the Midwifery Department at the University of Salford 🏥👶.
They explored the different pathways available after leaving school, discovered the vital role and responsibilities of a midwife, and learned about the exciting opportunities a career in healthcare can offer. 💙
The afternoon was packed with hands-on activities in the experience suites, where students listened to a “baby’s” heartbeat ❤️, practised changing nappies 🍼, and even learned life-saving CPR skills 🚑.
Meanwhile, back at school, students enjoyed a delicious break-time treat of samosas and bhajis! 😋🥟
What a fantastic start to Culture Week! 🌟

This week, our Year 10 Sports Studies students successfully completed their canoeing assessment at Debdale Outdoor Centre.
They were lucky to enjoy glorious weather, creating the perfect setting for a fantastic day out on the water! 🌊☀️
Throughout the session, students developed their canoeing techniques, learned new skills, and demonstrated excellent teamwork, resilience and determination. 💪👏
It was wonderful to see everyone challenge themselves, grow in confidence, and achieve so highly in their assessment.
