Manor CE Academy

Manor was one of the first schools in York to take advantage of its 'outstanding' Ofsted rating to successfully apply for the government's academy status, in April 2011. The school's rich history is now repeating itself: in March 2012 - exactly 200 years after it was established - Manor was selected to take a pioneering role as 'teaching school' st... atus, which means aspiring teachers can start to learn their craft in an already successful educational environment. Manor recorded its best ever GCSE results in July 2014, with 80 per cent of students achieving grades A*-C including Maths and English. On 1 April 2015, Manor again took the initiative to form the Hope Learning Trust, York. It is the first multi-academy trust in the city comprising a York primary school (Poppleton Ousebank) and Manor, a York secondary school. The two schools set up the new organisation so as to provide an holistic education for children and young people in the north west of York, from age three to 16, and to pool both resources and wisdom. The structure also allows for other schools to join the trust, subject to Department for Education permission.Read More
