GB will also extensively upgrade the school grounds and create a covered courtyard area.
The school is part of the national Building Schools for the Future (BSF) scheme, which is the biggest ever school buildings investments programme, and aims to rebuild or refurbish every secondary school in England.
In Manchester there is a combined BSF and Academies programme with a £500m capital investment to rebuild or refurbish 33 secondary schools, seven of which will be specialist academies.
