King's Manor School was a secondary school in Acklam, Middlesbrough, England.[1] It merged with Hall Garth Community Arts College in 2010 to create Oakfields Community College.[2][3][4]

Subjects taught

The school taught a range of subjects and as a Specialist sports colleges it was particularly known for the quality of its facilities for Physical Education.[5][6]

Houses

As a Specialist Sports College, the school was involved in a project called the Aspiring Sports College Project (ASCOP) and eventually became a national demonstration site. The project aimed to raise student aspirations through listening to their views and ideas and giving them a sense of belonging to the school. It was this work which led to the House system launch in 2005; the school was divided into houses named after the ships of the local hero Captain James Cook:

In line with a general trend for schools to listen more to the views of students, the concept of "student voice" at King's Manor was used to allow students to help review the way that houses and subjects operated and how teaching and learning was delivered.
