About Manchester Enterprise Academy

Manchester Enterprise Academy is a popular choice for local families, with 293 applications for 232 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.26. Of those, 140 families put it as their first preference, and all of those received an offer. The school does not publish a parent view survey, so direct feedback from families isn't available, but the consistent demand suggests it holds a strong reputation in the community. Headteacher Kyra Jones leads this large 11-16 mixed secondary, which has capacity for 1,270 pupils and currently enrols 1,186. Over half of students (57.3%) are eligible for free school meals, reflecting the school's role in a diverse and economically varied catchment area.
