Co-op Academy Belle Vue Students Awarded Scholarships by Stagecoach East Manchester

We are thrilled to announce that Stagecoach East Manchester has granted three scholarships to our students.

We are proud to be partnered with Stagecoach East Manchester. Stagecoach is the UK’s largest network of part-time performing arts schools for children, offering a full and rounded education. Stagecoach teaches life skills to build confidence and stretch imaginations through performing arts.

Earlier this year, we partnered with Stagecoach East Manchester to offer Performing Arts as an Elective. This provided our students with the opportunity to train in all three disciplines – Singing, Dance, and Drama – with Stagecoach East Manchester's highly qualified teachers.

Stagecoach offers a platform for our students to nurture and refine their artistic talents, encouraging creativity and self-expression. We are delighted to see them embracing our CARE principles of Enjoyment and Ambition.

In addition to delivering an Elective each week for our students, we are thrilled to announce that Stagecoach East Manchester has awarded our students with a scholarship. Students were selected by both Stagecoach East Manchester's Principal, Alex Antonova, and Assistant Principal Ceri Smith, alongside Belle Vue's Expressive Arts department. The students were chosen based on the commitment and dedication to the performing arts demonstrated in their lessons and their elective.

This scholarship allows the students to attend Stagecoach's performing arts school for three hours each weekend, unlocking their potential in the performing arts while building essential life skills. We are so proud of the students and thank Stagecoach for this life-changing opportunity.

We cannot wait to see the students in their upcoming summer performance of Shrek: The Musical!"

 

We have been extremely thrilled with the progress of our affiliation with Co-op Academy Belle Vue, which has been growing stronger since our first visit last year. Collaborating with the school and their students on their elective courses has been a privilege. Working with the students who have enroled in our electives has been an absolute pleasure. Their level of motivation, creativity, and talent is truly admirable, and it has been a delight to collaborate with them on a regular basis. The experience of guiding and mentoring such exceptional students has been incredibly fulfilling for us, and we are constantly impressed by their dedication and hard work. We feel grateful for the opportunity to be a part of their learning journey and to witness their growth and success.
