About Co-op Academy North Manchester

Co-op Academy North Manchester has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. That’s a significant turnaround from its previous inspection in 2015, when it was rated Inadequate overall. The most telling academic metric is its Progress 8 score of -0.25, which places it in the bottom 50 nationally and ranks it 26th out of 31 secondary schools in Manchester. That means pupils at this school make less progress on average than those across England, and the gap is even starker when compared with the local authority average Progress 8 score of 0.18. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at 38.2, and just 28.1% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. The EBacc average point score is 3.28, with only 6.6% of pupils entering the full EBacc combination.
