School
We want families in New Islington. Families need schools.
It's all part of the thinking behind creating a millennium community - making sure that we provide all the elements that will make a place where people will want to live and work for generations to come.
In recent years, the population of Manchester city centre has grown rapidly. Lofts and apartments have created a new and exciting place to live. Those who realised the possibilities have discovered the joys of city living and Manchester has welcomed them - they have changed the face of the city for the better.
But things move on. All those bars and clubs are great places to meet new friends and partners and it won’t be long before these partnerships introduce the patter of tiny feet to the city’s streets. We are looking forward to it – once again the face of the city will be changed for the better.
So it’s time to start thinking about new schools for the city centre. Not just ordinary schools, but great schools. In New Islington we want to create a school that is envied in the suburbs. We want teachers and families to move to New Islington just so they can be part of it.
It’s not going to be easy, but we have the vision and the process has started. We’ve set aside a fantastic site - in a park, surrounded by water and wildlife. We want the school to be open from dawn to dusk, so the whole community gets the chance to learn there and play there.
For the school to work well, it needs good design, good funding and good teachers. We know we can get good design. We are working on the funding. If we get these two, the third will come naturally.
