In the most recent GCSE results, pupils achieved an average Attainment 8 score of 39.8, below the national average of 46. That marks an improvement of 1.1 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year.

34% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 60% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. The Manor Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 196 families who put it first were offered a place. After Year 11, 91% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 10.4%. There are about 17.0 pupils per teacher. The Manor Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
