It is not prescriptive, nor necessarily a comprehensive definition of the post. As such, it may be subject to amendment, after consultation, to meet the changing needs of the academy and the GMAT.

Greater Manchester Academies Trust is made up of Manchester Communication Academy, Manchester Communication Primary Academy, North Manchester Initial Teacher Training and Manchester Communication Research School.

Our ambition is to provide the highest quality education for children and young people in the urban context of Manchester.

At GMAT, we believe passionately in the power of an excellent education to transform lives and futures and feel that we can build on our social investment activities, local knowledge, community relationships and strong partnerships to make this happen.

Manchester Communication Academy is a vibrant school that is at the heart of the community and is committed to improving educational outcomes for all of our students. MCA is proud to be a community hub and our outward facing work is exceptional.

In our Ofsted inspection in 2024 we were recognised as a good school and want to build on this by recruiting excellent practitioners that are driven by evidence informed practice. MCA received Research School status in September 2019 and we are proud of the work that we conduct in partnership with the EEF and how this drives our teaching practice.

Not only is the academy committed to offering our students the highest quality learning experience but the Social Investment Department is dedicated to offering opportunities and support to our local families and wider community. Together, our driving force is to mitigate the impact of disadvantage and ensuring that the young people that we serve are equipped and ready to be successful and happy adults who we are proud to know.

Everyone at MCA shares these same values and this is important to us. If you share these values too, then we would love to hear from you!
