Heart of Manchester is a partnership of 8 schools in the heart of Central Manchester. The partnership has been in existence for over 10 years and continues to grow and develop in response to the needs of children and families, staff and communities, as well as educational reforms.

The HOM Partnership has a vision to provide the best teaching and learning to ensure no child or school is left behind. We reflect on, and renew, our commitment to this vision regularly with annual Headteacher reviews. This has built sustainability and resilience in our ways of working and it goes from strength to strength.

We work together to raise standards in our own schools and support others to do the same. We also deliver School Direct teacher training in Manchester Schools, pioneer exciting approaches to teaching and learning and provide development for new and aspiring school leaders.

Manchester Pupil Parliament is a group of Rights Respecting Schools which promotes pupil leadership opportunities, enabling children to develop valuable communication,  organisation and debating skills through key roles of responsibility and new experiences. 

We aim to promote pupil voice and raise awareness of 42 children’s rights (Convention of  the Rights of the Child), linking children’s rights to what is happening in the world today.  We want to support and guide all our children to become the best possible citizens so they  can become the best that they can be (Article 29 of Convention of the Rights of the Child)! 

There are currently 19 primary and secondary schools who are members of Manchester Pupil Parliament and MPP is looking to increase its membership.  

Transforming Learning Cultures

The partnership began in 2011 when all 3 schools recognised common challenges and shared vision for empowering children and families to grow as rights respecting and responsible citizens. The partnership became the Transforming Learning Cultures Partnership TLC
