Note to Partner Agencies

Although we always do our best to facilitate these meetings, please note that we have a limit on the rooms available. Therefore we request that you contact us in advance to ensure that an appropriate room to use. In addition, we ask that, where possible, these meetings take place between 1.30pm and 2.30pm when core lessons are over. Some students are working with multiple agencies and we need to minimise the impact on their learning time and academic progress where possible.

At Manchester Vocational and Learning Academy, we are committed to transforming the lives of pupils who have struggled in mainstream education.
