MEA opened its doors for the first time in September 2009 and moved into state of the art premises in 2010. We are providing unique and exciting opportunities for all our students and we believe strongly that all students can succeed. Manchester Enterprise Academy is sponsored by lead sponsor Manchester Airport and co-sponsors Willow Park Housing Trust, The Manchester College and Manchester City Council. The sponsor organisations work in partnership with the leadership and teaching team to shape the ethos and direction of the academy. Their role is vital to the success of Manchester Enterprise Academy. As well as being instrumental in defining the vision and goals of the academy, the sponsors also provide support for the running of the academy and for individual students by one-to-one mentoring, vocational courses and ultimately, job opportunities.
