Carr Manor High School

Carr Manor High School

Carr Manor High School is a comprehensive school in Leeds, England. It was formed from a merger of Lawrence Oates High School and Stainbeck High School in 1992 under headmaster Terry Burgon. The school holds specialist Sports College status [http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/oxedu_providers/full/(urn)/108059] .

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. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/west_yorkshire/3008067.stm "Five schools to be closed"] , BBC News, 7 May 2003] In reality, the school still has a sixth form along with a new building. Previous to the new school being built, the school was earmarked for closure. However, after opposition from politicians, parents, staff and pupils, a new school was built to replace the old two buildings.

Hon. Tony Blair, Prime Minister on 15 March 2007. [ [http://www.carrmanorhighschool.co.uk/cmhs/index.php "Official Opening by Rt. Hon.

Academic standards

In the November 2005 Ofsted inspection the school was rated "Satisfactory", point three on a four point scale. This reflected the low standards of attainment of the students before their entry to the school.

However, in March 2006 the school was rated amongst the 100 most improved schools in the country. [ [http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-14410506_ITM "Turning corner to a bright future."] , Yorkshire Evening Post, 30 March 2006]
