About Our School

Welcome to Carr Manor High School Specialist Sports College

Carr Manor High School is a forward thinking school in North East Leeds that has made                                    significant progress over recent years, in improving outcomes for pupils and colleagues.                                     Providing an inclusive and caring environment, we take pride in knowing our children well                                           and in providing substantial support to both pupils and colleagues to enable effective                                                  teaching and learning. 

The school emphasises teaching, learning and good behaviour. As a Specialist Sports                                                 College we are able to pilot new initiatives and lead the way in Sport for the benefit of our                                              pupils, staff and the community. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the                                         wellbeing of children and young people, staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

In September 2006 we moved into a new multi-million pound building that provides excellent                                    learning and sporting facilities, including rugby/football pitches, Multi Use Games Area, all                                             weather pitch, athletics track, fully equipped sports hall and fitness suite.                                                                                                                                                                                                   Carr Manor High School has a very inclusive and diverse pupil population. We take pride                                               in personalising the curriculum and learning experience for pupils as far as possible and in                                       working towards the following 3 key aims:                                   

  • Know our children well        
  • Enjoy and achieve
  • Partners in learning                                                                                                                                                

We deploy a number of innovative strategies to help pupil progress and achievement                                             across all curriculum subjects, for example our Critical Skills Programme, House System                                         and Coaching Programme.                                                                                                                                                                                                     The house system is made up of Bremner, Tomlinson and Trueman Houses. All pupils                                              and staff are members of a house and compete in events including football, charity                                                   quizzes, talent shows and school work, to score points for their teams. 

In line with the House system, the coaching system replaces traditional tutor time. All of                                               our pupils are split into groups of around 6 to 8 with a member of staff to ‘Coach’ them for                                           one hour every Monday morning. The coaching groups include pupils from a range of years,                                   which has had an immense affect on cross year relations. It has given pupils a chance to                                           mix with pupils outside their own peer group. The groups have also been selected around                                         interests and personality to maximise their success.
