Abbey College Manchester

✨ Year 12 Maths Explore Manchester’s Scientific Heritage ✨
Our Year 12 Mathematics students had an informative and fun visit to the Science and Industry Museum yesterday.

Making the most of Manchester’s rich scientific heritage students immersed themselves in a range of engaging and interactive exhibits.

From the dynamic Revolution Manchester show to exploring the Power Hall and experimenting in the interactive galleries, the trip brought science, technology and mathematics to life beyond the classroom.

It was fantastic to see students so engaged, asking questions, and making real-world connections to their studies. Opportunities like this help deepen understanding while inspiring curiosity and enthusiasm for STEM subjects. 👏

🏅 Inspiring Staff Spotlight 🏅
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate our colleague Rob, who continues to inspire both students and staff with his dedication and determination.

Recently, Rob took part in the Great Manchester 10km Race — Europe’s biggest 10K event, with over 30,000 runners — and achieved an outstanding result, finishing 1st in his age category with a time of 39:29! 👏

Even more impressively, this marks every race since 2009 — a true testament to his commitment and passion. Alongside this achievement, Rob is also making a donation to the charity Mind, supporting mental health awareness. 💙

An incredible accomplishment and a fantastic example of resilience, consistency, and giving back — values we’re proud to champion at Abbey College Manchester.

As our Year 13s prepare for their next chapter 🎓✨
With departure day drawing closer, Alex and Emma at Clydesdale House hosted a special farewell boarders' dinner at Bem Brazil on Deansgate. It was a lovely evening filled with reflection, laughter, and a welcome pause from exam focus—celebrating friendships, memories, and all that lies ahead.

Wishing our Year 13s every success for the future 💫

🔥 Boys’ Cookout Night 🎶🍔
Friday night was one to remember, as Ezra, Alex and Ali hosted a fantastic boys’ cookout! From prepping dinner to cleaning up afterwards, the evening was filled with laughter, teamwork… and some very enthusiastic singalongs to Adele and Imagine Dragons 🎤

It was brilliant to see the boys enjoying themselves so freely; singing at the top of their voices and making the most of the moment. Nights like this really highlight the safe, relaxed environment here, where students can unwind, be themselves, and take a well-earned break from the pressure of exams.

The Abbey College Manchester staff-student football match finished approximately 12-12 after a spirited clash of experience and youthful exuberance. ⚽🏃‍♂️🏃🏿

The staff moved the ball well, relying on their greater tactical nous to combat the students’ pace, individual skills and dancing feet. It was a frenetic, end-to-end and side-to-side clash of styles, yielding entertainment for the kop and a stage for the prodigies and legends of Abbey’s footballing elite to show their talents. Credit to all involved for a match of commitment played in the best of spirits.

45 Minutes, 24 goals, one outrageous foul, one lost ball, two ice-creams, sunshine and much fun had by all.😎

Huge congratulations to Dug, Teacher of Maths, on completing an incredible 85-mile cycle challenge around the Scottish Highlands on Sunday morning in support of Cancer Research! 👏

Starting off in sub-zero temperatures but under beautiful blue skies, Dug showed amazing determination from start to finish — and has already raised over £1,000 for Cancer Research.

An outstanding achievement for a fantastic cause. Anyone wishing to donate can via https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/dug-vs-etape-caledonia-for-cancer-research

Mission complete. Well done, Dug! 🚴‍♂️🏔️💙

Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

At Abbey College Manchester, we recognise the vital role exercise and green spaces play in supporting positive mental health.

As part of our Thursday Tutor Time, our younger students enjoy a wellbeing walk to a nearby green space—an opportunity to relax, decompress, and spend quality time with friends away from the classroom.

Taking time to pause, connect, and recharge is essential for wellbeing, and we’re proud to make it part of our students’ regular routine. 🌿🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Class of 2026, you’ve got this!
