Drayton Manor High School
Drayton Manor High School prospectus information
The school promotes the maximum development of individual students’ talents and potential within a tolerant and caring community.
Academic excellence
At Drayton Manor we ask a high standard of our
students by creating an atmosphere of encouragement with the
emphasis on students developing the habits of hard work,
organisation and responsibility for their own work.
Widest range of opportunities
We offer the widest possible range of opportunities
to all our students. We think and work in terms of individual
students, their personal development, their academic tuition, their
interests and their career needs.
Successful Sixth Form
The sixth form of 370 students is extremely
successful. The standards of excellence that Drayton Manor sets for
all its students are reflected in the quality of the sixth
form examination results. A high number of our students go on to
Universities (including Oxford and Cambridge), to colleges of
Further Education and to worthwhile employment. They take with them
the qualities, attitudes and skills necessary for them to meet the
demands of a rapidly changing world.
Within and beyond the classroom
Every student is encouraged to make full use of the
school facilities and take up opportunities for extended learning
and curriculum enhancement. Drayton Manor has a strong reputation
in the fields of music, dance, drama and sport.
Special Educational Needs
The school believes that Special Educational Needs
(SEN) provision should identify and address the needs of all
students through a relevant, broad and balanced curriculum
delivered by all staff. Specialist SEN staff support SEN students
both within classes and in withdrawal groups.
