About The Manor Academy

The Manor Academy is a mixed state secondary and sixth form in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, currently educating 1,260 pupils against a capacity of 1,450. That leaves some physical headroom, but demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 459 applications for 236 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.94, with 211 first-preference offers made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 30.2%, well above the national average and a clear signal of the community it serves. Katrina Kerry is the headteacher. The school has no religious character and is not a boarding school. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in January 2024, confirmed the school remains Good, a significant turnaround from its previous graded inspection in 2018 when it was rated Good overall after being judged Inadequate in 2016. Leadership and management, as well as sixth-form provision, were both rated Good.
