MSSP Celebration 2023 - MSSP Q4 2022/2023 (Quarterly update June to August 2023)

MSSP Q4 2022/2023 – Manchester Supplementary Schools Achievement Awards Celebration 2023

In this quarter Manchester City Council  celebrated the work of  members of Supplementary Schools across the city. On July 1st 2023 Manchester City Council collaborated with MSSP and the Growth Company to host a remarkable celebration event for all supplementary schools in Manchester. Supplementary school leaders, teachers, and pupils from across the city shared wonderful presentations from their cultures and received awards for their outstanding work for young people in the community.

A quote from Young Manchester relating what happened at the event

The event was a vibrant tapestry of cultures, languages, and educational excellence, showcasing the rich diversity of supplementary schools across Manchester. Exhibition stalls led by the schools themselves saw attendees immerse themselves in different experiences; from tantalizing Lithuanian delicacies like the mouthwatering Šakotis cake (made over a fire) to trying their hand at Mandarin or learning about Aesop’s Fables. The pinnacle of the day was the awe-inspiring awards ceremony, complete with captivating performances. We were honoured to have the Lord Mayoress deliver a captivating keynote speech, inspiring us all with her words of wisdom. 🎤🏆 Together, we created an unforgettable celebration of diversity, achievement & joy. We applaud all the supplementary schools for their tireless dedication to shaping bright futures and empowering our young learners.” (Written by Young Manchester)
