Manchester Communication Academy (MCA) opened in 2010 in an area of significant disadvantage in north Manchester. Over two thirds of the academy’s students live in one per cent of the most disadvantaged areas in England and many of them experience personal disadvantage. Sixty per cent of the students are from ethnic minorities and between them speak over 40 languages. The academy, under principal John Rowlands, is rich in cultural diversity and community cohesion and committed to ensuring every child enjoys and succeeds in their education, irrespective of economic or social disadvantage.

 

This exhibition showcases incredible work by our GCSE Art, Photography and Graphics students across Year 10 and 11.
