The East Manchester Academy, on the corner of Grey Mare Lane and Albert Street, is due to open in September 2010. It is substantially but not totally completed. Sponsored by Bovis Lend Lease and Laing O’Rourke, with co-sponsors Manchester City Council and The Manchester College, the Academy will provide 900 places for 11 to 16 year olds as well as post 16 provision. It will also provide a new District Library for people living in the wider east Manchester area. Academy schools have proved quite controversial, because of the input of commercial or religious organisations, with varying success. It will be interesting to see if the new Government will permit more, or possibly this could be one of the last of its type?
