More Positive News from The Manor


The march of continual improvement at the Manor* is continuing (despite very turbulent times in Education in England) as this years results build on last years success.

This year for the first time over 60% of the Manors' Students achieved 5 higher grades wit almost 50% managing the same achievement including Maths and Science.

Given the significant areas of deprivation (some of the worst in the County) within King's Hedges and Arbury this is an impressive achievement.

The overall figures are;
  • 5 higher grades  = 61.3% - 3% up on last year,
  • 5 higher grades including Maths and Science = 48.4% - about the same as last year (0.2% change)
  • 5 A* - G grades = 91%
The continual improvement is probably the best news. Being able to build on last years fantastic results is a real tribute to the hard work of Ben Slade (the Principle), the staff, the Governing Body and above all the students.
