About Manningtree High School
Manningtree High School is a secondary school in Manningtree, Essex, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 917 pupils aged 11 to 16 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 48.6 — broadly in line with the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has fallen by 0.6 points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 35% of secondary schools nationally.
53% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, above the national average of about 45%. 74% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Manningtree High School their first choice was offered one of its 202 Year 7 places. After Year 11, 94% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 9.0%. There are about 17.7 pupils per teacher. Manningtree High School 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.
