We have very low turnover of staff and pride ourselves on ensuring all staff have the opportunity professionally develop and to tap into high quality professional learning both external and that available in the Trust.

There is a lot to be proud of at Manor Academy, and the Governors along with all staff hold a common aim to work with students to ensure that the quality of provision and outcomes improves even further in the future. At Manor Academy, we are very proud of our reputation for the high standards of teaching, behaviour and academic achievement.

We have high expectations and encourage all students to meet them. All staff support the vision of the Manor Academy which is to ensure that all of our students develop their full range of talents and fulfil their academic potential regardless of their starting points.

The Manor Academy’s partnerships with specialist organisations and schools gives our students countless opportunities for unique, life-enhancing experiences.

The facilities at The Manor Academy are second to none; we have our own sports centre, a full-sized all-weather sports pitch, an outstanding cafe offering hot and cold food, a construction centre and an engineering workshop, a hair and beauty training salon and advanced ICT facilities.

The standard of teaching and of support is first class at Manor. Sustaining these standards is my top priority.

To develop and improve the academy further we need to recruit the best staff at every opportunity. We are looking for people who are committed to improving the life choices of Manor students and who can fit the caring, professional and ambitious profile of the staff already here.
