So here it is! Can you guess who are very first Masked Reader is? Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Homer…
At the start of February two of our fantastic studentsrepresented Co-op Academy Swinton at the very firstCo-op Academies Trust Spelling Bee competition attheir headquarters, 1 Angel Square in Manchester.
Accompanied by Teacher of English, Miss Bond, Year 8students Mena and Ariana performed really wellcompeting against other schools in the Trust.
They spelt all of the moderate challenge and high challenge words correctly and it was just one ‘wacky’ word that stopped the girls gaining the third place spot. They did exceptionally well and their confidence on the stage was amazing.
Well done, we are very proud of you!
Last week a group of our Year 10s enjoyed a visit to Eccles College to experience the BTEC Football Programme with the assistance of Manchester United Foundation and find out what’s involved.
Our group enjoyed a 30 minute presentation detailing the content of the course, its’ outcomes and the possible career options this course could lead to. They then had the amazing opportunity to take part in a 90 minute training session with the college instructors doing a range of football drills and games.
The boys behaved impeccably and were extremely mature during the session. They all said it was a great experience…huge thanks to Miss Howarth and Mr Frankham for organising this opportunity.
Last week our Year 8 ‘Social Action’ students took part in the Premier League Inspires Social Action Showcase at Old Trafford.
The girls delivered a presentation about their Social Action project, which they had completed before Christmas, to other hub schools. Their project was then judged by a selection of Manchester United Academy players. The girls were able to stand and reflect on their community-based project whilst being inspired further after listening to the projects other schools had undertaken.
A total of ten schools attended the showcase and really learnt a lot from each other. All of our students thoroughly enjoyed the day and said they had learnt a lot.
I really enjoyed today. It was nice to show other schools our project and how hard we have worked. It was also great to see other people’s projects and be inspired to think about what we can do in the future.

Last week our Year 10 BTEC Dance students, along with Dance teacher Miss Hughes, headed out for the evening to watch an incredible show called ‘Encounters’.Not only did they watch the show they were privileged to have the opportunity to take part in a pre-show workshop with some of the choreographers.
What a night! Congratulations to our Year 7 students who took part in the Co-op Academies Trust Year 7 Football Tournament last night at Co-op Academy Failsworth.
Our teams had a fantastic time, played some excellent football and showed our ‘Ways of Being’ in every match they played #SucceedTogether
A special mention must go to our Year 7 girls’ team who were, deservingly, crowned joint winners of the tournament along with Co-op Academy North Manchester. Well done everyone, we’re so proud of your effort, determination and sportsmanship.

Our Year 7 Boys’ football team were rewarded with a stadium tour at Manchester United Stadium, Old Trafford this week.
The boys have been doing so well. not only within school but also representing our academy in recent football competitions and tournaments. They had a really enjoyable trip, they were shown around the museum and stadium and later were treated to the opportunity to play a match against each other on the Apollo Pitch, right outside the stadium.
Congratulations boys, your reward is very well deserved…keep doing us proud!
