The importance of transition in children's lives The curriculum at MCPA has been thoughtfully constructed to ensure that it develops pupils socially, in addition to their knowledge and skills in a broad and balanced range of subjects. The sequencing of our curriculum is informed by evidence and ensures that powerful prior knowledge is used to underpin learning. The result of this is that our children do well, and go on to achieve great things and learning can transition seamlessly to Manchester Communication Academy. As part of the Greater Manchester Academies Trust, we are able to shape the learning journey of children from the age of 3, all the way to adulthood - from cradle to career.
