Welcome to Manshead Church of England Academy

It is a real pleasure, as the Headteacher of Manshead CE Academy, to welcome you to our website and to our academy.

Manshead CE Academy is a vibrant learning environment. The students benefit from highly qualified and exceptionally committed staff who recognise the importance of engaging and challenging teaching and an effective culture of vigilance around student well-being and safeguarding.

The curriculum has carefully designed pathways to ensure it meets the needs of all our students. It provides an excellent range of options in GCSE, BTec and A level qualifications. Students are valued and appreciate the strong community ethos, which is supported and enhanced through the practise and recognition of Christian values. All students experience a high level of care and guidance to support their personal and academic development.

The academy has introduced “The Manshead Charter” which provides clear expectations of the conduct staff and student should demonstrate themselves and expect from others. This can be accessed at the bottom of this section.

We value support and feedback from parents and carers as this is proven to improve attendance, achievement and student experience. The academy uses constructive feedback received to supplement the academy comprehensive “Vision for Improvement Plan”.

Information regarding impact and progress is regularly communicated by academy and most importantly by the feedback of the students that attend Manshead CE Academy. A visual representation of the improvement plan can be accessed at the bottom of this section.

We welcome visits to the academy, by appointment, as we believe the means of deciding if a school is the right one for your child is to see it in action.
