Sir Roger Manwood’s School was founded in 1563 and since that time has gone through various stages in its development. Throughout the years, the commitment and expertise of the staff, students, parents and governors has been its ongoing strength. These attributes have ensured that the school has continued to flourish over the years. The school was judged ‘Outstanding’ in all categories by Ofsted in April 2012.
Students are encouraged to explore and develop all aspects of their characters so as to become confident, independent young people; young people who are prepared for the next stage in their life by the time they leave Manwood’s. They are encouraged to take part in the many extracurricular activities on offer and supported to so that they achieve as highly, in an academic sense, as they are able. The aims and ethos of the school are reflected in the wide range of subjects and extracurricular opportunities offered. The vast majority of students in Year 11 stay on into the sixth form, and they progress to top universities in both the UK (including Russell Group and Oxbridge) and around the world.
There are boarding facilities for both boys and girls at Manwood’s and their presence helps to create the particular family ethos and palpable sense of community that exists here.
We strive to provide a safe and supportive environment for the young people who come through our doors and work tirelessly with them so that they develop into confident, happy and successful young people who are prepared for the global nature of the world around them in the 21st century.
