Pictured right: a service of thanksgiving at York Minster to celebrate Manor’s 200th anniversary in 2012 Manor Church of England Academy www.manorceacademy.org 3 Serving others As a Church of England academy we have a very special relationship with the Church of the Holy Redeemer. Our chaplain, the Reverend Tony Hand, is an integral part of this partnership and of our community. We make every effort to live out the faith we confess. Our acts of collective worship include a Eucharist service each term. Students experience prayer, readings, music and meditation and take Religious Studies up to GCSE. We aim to be at the heart of the local community and our students engage in valuable community work, including The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Growing together How we treat each other is as important as our academic performance. We have seven values, taken from the Hebrew scriptures, which advocate that all students and staff should be compassionate, gracious, patient, kind, loyal, forgiving and just. Our pastoral system targets individual needs of our students who are supported by their form tutor, Head of House and Year Leader. We want students to feel safe and secure in our care and to leave Manor as confident young adults, ready for the next stage of their journey in life. Living life to the full We aim to engage young people in learning that captures their imagination. Each student is unique and each deserves a curriculum that meets their needs and helps them become independent learners. Ofsted recognised the high quality of teaching at Manor, with five times the national average of lessons deemed “outstanding”. Our staff develop their teaching skills continually and share best practice. 4 Compassionate Gracious Patient Kind Loyal Forgiving Just Our performing arts facilities are industry standard. They include The Hive, a creative media centre featuring a 200-seat theatre, rehearsal space, dance studios and conference venue.

We are a Church of England academy and our Christian values guide, influence and underpin all that we do.

Recently we have taken on the role of a National Support School and we are at the heart of the Ebor Teaching Schools Alliance, training the next generation of teachers. We are also a founder member of the Hope Learning Trust, a family of schools working together for transforming education in this area. We are blessed to have state-of-the-art facilities and supportive families, however our most outstanding features are the 1,000-plus amazing young people and the 140 highly gifted teaching and support staff. Our aim is that all students and staff "serve others, grow together and live life to the full". We want to change the world by developing compassionate, serving leaders that work to make their communities and our society a better place.

  • The Parish of Marston Moor Encompasses St. Mary, Askham Richard; St
    The Parish of Marston Moor encompasses St. Mary, Askham Richard; St. James, Bilbrough; All Saints, Long Marston; All Saints, Rufforth and The Epiphany, Tockwith. There are schools in four of the five villages, three of them Church of England and one community, and the Ministry team and parishioners across the Parish are delighted that we have such a great relationship with all of these. We are pleased that you have decided to apply for the post of Head Teacher at St. Mary’s and hope that you find the school as welcoming and loving as we do. We realise that a new Head Teacher will bring new ideas but we are hoping as a church that we can continue to have a fruitful relationship with the school in the years to come. Due to the large catchment that the school covers my colleague Richard Battersby, from the churches of ‘Rural Ainsty’, shares the weekly worship we provide in school. There are also regular Open the Book and Godly Play worship which is led by our Reader, Ann Watson, and Sue Elgie, an RPA and Churchwarden, also helps out with the worship and is the main contact between school and church. We have held ‘Experience Church’ days in the church and the school use the church for worship termly, the offer is always there for the school to use the church as often as they wish. Due to the fact that there are 4 primary schools I have taken the decision that I would be unable to be a Governor at all of them so I have passed my role onto very competent members of our congregations, who can focus much more time and energy to the tremendous work that the governing body do.
