Welcome from the Principal

I am incredibly proud to be the Principal of Manor Community Academy, part of Northern Education Trust. I hope you already share, or will come to share, my belief that Manor Community Academy is an exceptional place for students to attend. At Manor Community Academy we demonstrate a daily commitment to our high expectations and have a no excuses culture as we prepare our students for the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

In 2019, Manor Community Academy achieved record breaking results meaning significantly more students achieved a grade 4 or 5 in English and mathematics. We value all Subjects and are delighted that results improved in every subject.

We’re delighted by these results, which are a testimony to the vision of the Trust “We constantly focus on standards as we understand outcomes are paramount. Our decision making is driven entirely by what is best for children. By doing this we enhance the life chances of the children and young people in our care.”

Choosing a school for your son or daughter can be amongst the most difficult decisions a parent has to make. At Manor Community Academy they will have the benefit of a safe and successful school with strong academic curriculum that has been developed to put students first and give them every opportunity to succeed in their future careers. In addition, we offer many rich opportunities for students though our after school Onboard programme and wider curriculum days.

We look forward to working with parents as close partners in providing a challenging and exciting education for young people.
