🌍✨ 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.

🌱 We’re proud that CMA was selected to take part in the RHS Seedling School Pilot, which concluded on 6 July.
Over the course of the project, 35 Year 8 students explored the connection between plants, wellbeing, and the environment. Through hands-on activities, they discovered how gardens function as living systems and learned the importance of shared responsibility by caring for a planter, generously donated to CMA.
The initiative included two inspiring RHS sessions at CMA, as well as a memorable visit to RHS Bridgewater. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to develop new skills, build confidence, and deepen their appreciation of the natural world. 🌿💚
