The ideas FoundaTion

Pupils from across both the boys and the girls site of MCMA started working with the Ideas Foundation to create an online magazine for the academy. The seven girls from MCMA focused on the journalism aspect of the project, whilst working with professional journalist to create content for the website, while the boys concentrated on the design and layout of the website and worked with a top graphic designer John Conibear and perfect their approach to website designing. One of the lucky pupils involved with the project said Its been a great experience. Ive learnt so much at the sessions that will help me a lot in the future! The chance to take part in this project was an amazing opportunity and the result is fantastic! Heather Murray (Year 9)

HAVE FUN, DO ENRICHMENT!

ON ENRICHMENT DAYS WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO ON TRIPS AND SEE MORE OF THE COUNTRY. GET MESSY & CREATIVE WITH ARTISTIC PROJECTS AND LEARN SOMETHING NEW WITH OUR FRIENDS! Enrichment is something for students to look forward to and makes people want to come to school so they can take part in the fun activities. In year seven and eight you get to go on trips such as Tatton Park or Cadburys World. There are also many activities organized at the academy throughout the day such as making paper mashie puppets, baking cakes, slam poetry and much more. Its fun and we feel like we have earned it after two weeks of normal lessons. Enrichment provides the students with different experiences that they might never get chance to do, it is really good and enjoyable to learn in a new way. Amy Heald (Year 8)
