“Honestly footlights has been such an amazing experience for me, it’s genuinely supported me throughout my life and given me something to look forward to every weekend. I’ve been going to footlights since I was six and have made so many incredible memories and met just the most amazing people. Apart from learning to sing, dance and act, footlights is so much more than that! It’s a family and being apart of it is something I will never forget!!”

“Good business campus with plenty of facilities for students. Not students are as well welcome though some services are restricted to students.”

“The Manchester College is the largest further education college in the United Kingdom. It is the largest provider of 16–19 and adult education in Greater Manchester. The origins of the college go back to the early 19th century St. John's Sunday school, a pioneering school for workers. By the 1950s this had evolved into St John's and Openshaw Technical College. Later mergers created the Central College Manchester which became The Manchester College of Arts and Technology in Manchester, while institutions in Central Manchester, Fielden Park, Arden and Wythenshawe merged to form City College Manchester. In 2008 these two combined to form The Manchester College. The Manchester College offers courses for school leavers, adults, higher education students, employers and international students. The Manchester College is based at many sites in the city: these include Moston, Abraham Moss Community School, One Central Park, Manchester Enterprise Academy, the sixth form of St Matthew's RC High School and Harpurhey in the North; Openshaw, Preston Street, Welcomb Street, Nicholls Campus in Ardwick[9] and the Manchester School of Building in the East; Fielden Park (Didsbury), Northenden, Wythenshawe Forum and Brownley Green Wythenshawe in the South; locations in the city centre include St John's in Castlefield, Lever Street, and Shena Simon Campus in Chorlton Street in Manchester city centre. As well as this, the college are due to build a new site on the old Boddingtons' site - opposite the Manchester Arena.

I’m really enjoying my time here.The teachers and staff are so supportive and helpful. I’ve learned a lot and feel more confident every day. It’s a great place to study! Last year, I completed the ESOL (16-18) Entry 3 course with the teacher Mark Gourlay , which helped me build my English skills and confidence. This year, I’m studying Functional Skills English and Maths with the adult group, and I’m really enjoying it. The teachers here are fantastic — my Maths teacher, Maryama Gholami, and my English teacher, Nuzhat Siddique, and my IT Teacher Asif Saleh are all very supportive, kind, and always explain everything clearly. They always take the time to help every student and make sure we all understand the lesson. The staff are else very helpful and friendly. Whenever I need help or have a question, there is always someone there to support me. The college offers so many great facilities, and the learning environment is very comfortable and welcoming. I’ve learned so much since I joined, not just in English and Maths, but also about communication, teamwork, and confidence. I feel really happy and safe here, and I enjoy coming to college every day. The Manchester College has given me a great experience, and I’m very thankful to be part of it. I would definitely recommend this college to anyone who wants to improve their skills and achieve their goals.”

“Hello, can I find out on which floor the school is located?”

“So good! I had so much fun and continue to benefit from everything I learned about myself and how to play and connect with others.”

“As a Muslim student I studied here 1999-2001 (A levels) and had an excellent time here socially and made it into Manchester University which was hard to get into. The staff were supportive and the free time for doing private study was beneficial. The college was large (at that time around 1000 students) and I made many new friends whom I still had contact with after leaving the college. The RE lessons and tutorials were also interesting and was very welcoming. I would highly recommend the college if you are willing to study hard outside of lesson time. Although the college results were similar to the national average at the time it is not due to poor teaching. The college is situated in a good location and there are plenty of activities to participate in. I have many pleasant memories.”

“Loved the University. Best in Manchester. Great support for international students.”

“I've recently finished Year 11 here and I am so sad to be leaving! I'm due to come back next Thursday (25th August) for GCSE Results Day, and I can't wait to see everyone! I have absolutely loved my time here ever since 2017, all of the teachers are very polite and if you have a problem, they'll solve it! I have made the most amazing friends who I'll cherish for the rest of my life. DCC is very accessible to students who have physical disabilities such as myself and they are very inclusive. I walked into DCC for the first time thinking that the school wasn't for me and that I was going to be an outcast, five years later, I consider the people at DCC my family! I honestly wouldn't want to have gone anywhere else. I totally recommend this school to everybody! Thanks for everything DCC!”
