Super Learning Day #1 2018/19

On Tuesday 4th December 2018, students will take part in Super Learning Day instead of normal timetabled lessons.

This will be our first Super Learning Day of the 2018/19 academic year, with two more to follow.

Super Learning Day is The East Manchester Academy’s PSHE curriculum day. All students take part in lessons based around the PSHE/SMSC statutory framework, which is mandatory for all schools. These days take place three times per academic year and are vital for our student’s personal and social educational needs.
