The reporting of a student's absence procedure is as follows:

Parent/carers should report absent children by 8.00am to 0161 232 1639. Choose option 1 for Student Services, where you will either speak with a member of staff or be asked to leave a message on the answerphone. Please remember to leave your child’s s full name, form group and year group. Or send a message on the MyEd Parent App.

Alternatively, parents can email into office@manchester-academy.org to report a child’s absence.

Any child still absent by 9.00am and where no contact has been received from parent/carer, will receive a phone call home from the Attendance and Safeguarding team.

What is the academy's attendance policy?

Regular school attendance is essential if children are to achieve their full potential.

Manchester Academy believes that regular school attendance is the key to enabling children to maximise the educational opportunities available to them and become emotionally resilient, confident and competent adults who are able to realise their full potential and make a positive contribution to their community.
