MCMA has outstanding amenities for students, staff and the wider community. We have a full range of teaching accommodation with all attendant support facilities. This includes halls for dining and assembly, a sports hall, an outdoor floodlit, multi-use games area with playing fields and sufficient space for school support and administration.

Music and drama are well developed with a drama studio, music room, recording studio and band room. Individual instrumental tuition is provided as well as the opportunity to be part of a band or ensemble. Cutting edge ICT and media technologies are apparent throughout the academy and an extended day provides for enriching extra-curricular experiences for the whole community.

MCMA are at the leading edge of learning innovation, particularly in the creative and media arts, inspired and supported by the backing of the biggest, and arguably the best, college in Europe, The Manchester College, coupled with the innovative power of Microsoft, under the creative regenerative skills of Manchester City Council.
