Student creativity in Manchester

“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!!”

“great service. barber does a brilliant job and takes time and care. Thank you very much”

“This is one of the best schools in Manchester, My daughter went here and it did her the world of good. The only downside is the cost, its not cheap, I could have brought a Ferrari with the money I spent here.”

“Very impressive open evening . Tutors all seem very eager and happy .”

“I love this place cause it survived 2 world wars, it was moved after the arndale bombing. My great great grandfather owned the now bar/restaurant. You can see him in the photo. I'd love to know what happened to the clock.”

“God willing, I will enter it in 2026”

“Great option for someone who wants their children to learn Greek! The teachers are knowledgeable and with great skills. They are very supportive with the children and the parents. My son started nursery this year and he really enjoys the lessons every Saturday morning. He has got new friends, enriches his vocabulary, has more confidence in Greek language and he really loves his teacher. Highly recommended to families of Manchester!”

“Very good people especially siman I wish their are more people like him very kind and helpful”

“Darren is a great teacher with the patience of a Saint. I've never danced in my life and only went because the wife wanted to go, but I really enjoy it. Classes are held at the Methodist Church Hall Denton ( opposite Morrisons Crown Point) 6.30 to 7.30 for beginners. 7.30 to 8.30 for intermediates.”

“My daughter is thriving at Stagecoach North Manchester. It’s a lovely supportive class which builds confidence and is most importantly fun. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Beth and her team if you’re looking for a performing arts class in Prestwich.”

“I studied a vocal artist course for two years at access creative, i can confidently say this college attends everyone’s needs and helps them to excel not just in the college, however in a future career. They have an excellent team of teachers that bend over backwards to help anyone and everyone, with assignments, original songs, composing music and more.They have a fully equipped studio, recording pods, rehearsal rooms, a stage and a wide range of high tech equipment in which the teachers help progress our knowledge on. They do not just help you with assignments they also have lessons teaching you how to teach you how to get started in the industry and most importantly excel in it.”

“My name is Ahlam, I am 19 years old, and my student number is 1485206. I’m really proud to be in my second year at The Manchester College, Shena Simon Campus. 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.”

“My son attends this school and Insh'Allah so will my daughter. I think the staff and facilities are very good. This is still a very young school and I feel that it is continually getting better. My son used to attend a long established grammar school and I feel they are very comparable, however, here my son learns about Islamic values.”

“Excellent facilities from studios to equipment! the tutors and lectures are all friendly, passionate about their field of work and provide help at every chance! So many opportunities for students to get experience and meet professionals”

“Fantastic school! Incredible ethos, teachers, facilities and a real feeling of being part of a nurturing community. Proud that our son is a Forrester.”

“Amazing place, welcoming and focuses on the creative work and talent of students. Amazing opportunity such as women in gaming week, the in-house games development company slingshot studio, mental health week, industry professionals coming to talk about portfolios and many more. Absolutely love this place- if I could I would put 6/5”

“My friend ate raw chicken but still was quite good yummy in my tummy”

“This is the best drama school in Manchester, please don't be under any illusions and think it is easy you have to pass not 1 but 2 auditions and Mark Hudson knows he's stuff. If you want to take up acting then try this school don't act be yourself, and good luck”

“I been here 3 times and I don't understand the bad reviews. The guy that works there it's doing his job, he is respectful and polite, the computers aren't last generation nor the most expensive but they work perfectly fine. If you come here to pass the exam shouldn't be a big problem the vigilator nor the outdated computers, we are here to test or knowledge and if you know you know, and will pass regardless”

“My daughter has attended Rushbrook/Gorton Mount since nursery she is now in year 6. She has enjoyed her learning here and has accomplished so much, the staff are friendly and approachable and always willing to help. A totally brilliant school with a very good team working to enrich the lives of children.”

“Manchester the best place to be”

“This is my child fifth year at MCPA and I am so incredibly grateful that is the school where we landed in. I remember 5 years ago when my child started the school without any level or skills in English-speaking. That day we just moved a few weeks ago from Hungary. Nowadays my child is able to reading, writing, counting and speaking fluently in English. Teachers have been phenomenal at MCPA. They care about the children. Truly a school where no child is left behind. The community and school staff has doing everything to make easier the learning process during the first lock down. They provide interesting and challenging home work through class dojo. The school always give every relevant information to parents about their children. Teachers in here are a good role model for every child at MCPA. All members in this community are very supportive and helpful. I recommend this school to everyone who wants to their children in a safe and expert hands with an inspiring environment and helpful community.”

“I DISAGREE with ALL those negative reviews below. Iam am a student of Eden Girls and this school has been positioned SECOND BEST SCHOOL IN ALL OF MANCHESTER Eden girls is a very organised school and keeps everything up to date. They have after school enrichments and intervention if your daughter is below target on a certain subject. Eden has high expectations but this doesn't make the school worse. We go on trips which the school pays for. All you have to do is turn up! I would DEFINITELY recommend this school Please send your daughter here and, trust me, you will not regret it!”

“Great school It's Probably my favourite school”
