How families can benefit from joining the supportive community at this Manchester primary school

As the famous saying goes, it takes an entire village to raise a child. That's why it's not only important for children to gain access to a fantastic education, but for the community they live in to thrive too.

One school in Manchester that supports youngsters in their academic and personal development, as well as their families, is E-Act Blackley Academy. Based on Victoria Avenue, it offers excellent curricular and extra-curricular opportunities for pupils aged 3-11 years.

The school was recognised as 'Good' during its most recent Ofsted inspection and was also recently nominated for a TES Award due to its hard work in the community, where it was highly commended.

Just one of E-Act Blackley Academy's local support initiatives includes working with Uniformed – a company that helps households with school children access very cheap uniforms.

The school also has a community hub, where parents and carers can access a wealth of services, from mental health support to employment and financial support.

But that's not all. The school is part of the dynamic multi-academy E-Act trust, which comprises 28 academies and over 18,000 pupils in the UK, offering the perfect setting for staff and children to share their learnings and enriching experiences with one another.

To celebrate Easter, E-Act Blackley Academy will be holding a free Easter egg hunt for children under three years old on Thursday, March 21, 2024, at 9.30am. Families can contact the school for more details on how to attend.

E-Act Blackley Academy's school motto is 'if you work really hard and you are always kind, amazing things will happen', and children across all year groups are constantly inspired to achieve their full potential.
