Our journey to amazing began almost 200 years ago, with our history tracing back to the very start of Sunday school education and the foundation of St. John's Sunday School in Manchester.
We have been progressive thinkers and innovators in education ever since then. By 1921, Byron Street was one of the first-day continuation schools in England, taking up residency in the old school premises at St. John's Parish. By the 1950s, we pioneered the way in technical education, with hundreds of young civil servants and post office workers attending St John's and Openshaw Technical College opening its doors for the first time.
To meet the educational community's ever-changing needs, Openshaw and St. John's were soon merging to form The Central College Manchester, and later, The Manchester College of Arts (MANCAT). Over in South Manchester, Fielden Park, Arden and Wythenshawe were merging to form City College Manchester eventually.
We have been at the heart of Manchester life for decades, and by 2008 we had united as The Manchester College... Since then, we have continued to expand our offering and invest in our communities, opening new campuses and Centres of Excellence, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in learning and training. Today, we are the number one provider of 16-19 education, adult education, and higher education in FE in Greater Manchester.
At The Manchester College, we are committed to providing an environment free from discrimination, bullying, harassment, or victimization, where all members of our community are treated with respect and dignity.
Equality means that everyone has a fair chance. Diversity means respecting people's differences. We aim to create a culture of equality & diversity within our community, providing a dynamic working and learning environment where all members are valued for their contribution and individuality.
The Manchester College is committed to working inclusively with all the communities in which we are geographically located and developing a workforce and student community that reflects Greater Manchester's and the UK's rich diversity and vibrancy.
Safeguarding is a term that covers many things – all concerned with making sure learners are safe, healthy, protected from harm, and enjoy positive wellbeing.
An essential part of the college's role is to equip learners to deal with situations that put their wellbeing at risk, both in college and outside, and both now and in the future.
Staff is carefully recruited, trained, and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checked. The college works closely with a range of external agencies across the city to support vulnerable learners. Student experience teams, specialist support staff, and tutors provide high levels of support to all learners within a high-quality environment to protect them from harm and prepare them for a safe, healthy, and prosperous future.
