Carr Manor Community School (formerly Carr Manor High School) is a mixed all-through school located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was formed from a merger of Lawrence Oates Middle School and Stainbeck High School in 1992 under headmaster Terry Burgon.[1] It is a specialist sports college.[2]
For the new school year in September 2006, as part of a reorganisation of secondary education in Leeds, the school was rebuilt with new staff and a new headmaster, Simon Flowers. Carr Manor was set to lose its sixth form but gain extra buildings,[3] however, the school retained its sixth form along with a new building. The school was earmarked for closure before the new school was built. However, after opposition from politicians, parents, staff and pupils, a new school was built to replace the old two buildings.[4][5] The school was officially opened by Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, Prime Minister on 15 March 2007.[6] The school opened a primary phase in 2012.
In 2014 the school federated with Wetherby High School.
There have been incidents of the staff not dealing with bullying at all. There are also cases where teachers have told the students to shut up. Students aren't offered all the support they need, but Carr manor covers this up with the fact they have "coaching" which is basically forcing kids to speak with random people. They also cover this up using "Restorative practice" which is where students will speak to a misbehaving student, instead of a teacher. Restorative practice is essentially public humiliation, since students are forced to speaking with another student instead of a teacher
Academic standards[edit]
In the November 2005 Ofsted inspection the school was rated 'Satisfactory' Grade 3, on a four-point scale.[7]
However, in March 2006 the school was rated amongst the 100 most improved schools in the country.[8]
In the latest Ofsted inspection in February 2014 Carr Manor were rated as 'good'.[9]
