College Community


College Community

The college is committed to developing a curriculum which:

• Meets the needs of all learners
• Raises achievement
• Makes our young people appealing to employers.

We are determined to develop pathways for our learners by engaging more formally with past 16 providers and employers and we are very much aware of the need to address skill shortages within the local economy.

Together with our partners we are going to develop an appreciation of the importance of wealth creation, enterprise, social responsibility and respect for the environment.

Global Awareness

One of the most exciting initiatives is the development of links with International Partners. We shall promote foreign languages and develop cultural, educational and economic exchanges. We are currently working towards the prestigious ‘International School Award’.

Eco Schools

The government has stated that all schools should be eco-schools by 2020. The college is committed to sustainable development and aims to become a ‘sustainable school’ in the near future.

To help us to achieve this we are enrolled on the eco-schools programme and have achieved the ‘Bronze’ level award. We fully expect to achieve ‘Silver’ by the end of this academic year and aim to achieve the prestigious ‘Green Flag Award’ in the next few years.

Partnerships

We are determined to develop partnership with post 16 providers and local businesses that will, for the first time, make it possible for them to have a crucial input into the design of our curriculum. We firmly believe that these partnerships will transform learning and employment opportunities for our children.

Our principle aim is to promote collaboration and to unlock the rich reserves of talent and creativity that exists within our partner organisations for the benefit of the learners, the community and the economy.

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths)

Manor is working closely with our partners to promote STEM subjects. We now have a dedicated STEM team that is developing a number of events this year.

Promoting STEM subject is essential if we are to address engineering and manufacturing skill shortages evident in our community and across the country.
