These will be on land including the Blackley site of the current Creative and Media Academy, formerly North Manchester High School for Boys.
Manchester Creative and Media Academies opened last year in the former premises of North Manchester High School for Boys in Blackley and North Manchester High School for Girls in Moston.
The plans are for brand new buildings for both Creative and Media Academies to be located together on a single site bounded by the existing boys academy site to the south and Victoria Avenue East to the north.

Prior to the plans being submitted to a formal planning application in late September, residents are being given the opportunity to see detailed plans of the suggested site and give feedback.
Councillor Sheila Newman, Manchester City Council's Executive Member for Children's Services, said: "Manchester Creative and Media Academies have been open a year and are already making a hugely positive and significant impact on the students and the local community as a whole. The new state of the art facilities will help transform the way students learn and offer them relevant and practical work opportunities, allow them to gain life experience and arm them with more choice and the necessary skills for when they leave school."
