In-Year Admissions
Manor Academy currently has limited vacancies in some of our year groups. We encourage all families to visit the school to see the excellent facilities and meet the Headteacher.
Applications for in-year places should be made directly to Manor Academy, click here to complete the application form. You will usually be advised in writing whether a place can be offered within ten school days of making your application and at the very latest within fifteen school days.
As part of our duty of care, we will then be in touch with your child’s previous school to ensure that we can meet their needs. If your application is successful, you will be given a start date (usually after a half term or term). Your child will then be supported in their transition into their new school.
When an application for a place at this academy is unsuccessful, families are able to appeal the decision by completing this Admissions Appeals Form, click here.

Allergies
We’re passionate about food and our meals are made with high quality ingredients and we do our best to cater for students with food allergies. However, we cannot guarantee an environment completely free from allergens, so traces of some ingredients may still be present in our meals.
If your child has a severe food allergy, please talk to our staff about the allergy and ask for more information about the allergens in your meal. We will try to accommodate any reasonable request.

We work closely with our clients and suppliers to be as environmentally friendly as we can. By making lots of small changes, we can make a big difference. We care about the future and continue to focus on responsible sourcing, using seasonal produce, increasing our focus on plant-based recipes, making our menus more sustainable, keeping waste to a minimum and reusing and recycling to reduce the impact we have.
Free School Meals
As a parent or carer of a child at The Manor Academy, we would like to make sure you are aware of the criteria for eligibility for free school meals. The current economic climate may now mean you can receive additional funding for your child’s education.
Students eligible for free school meals have credit automatically added to their account each day to the value of £2.30, and pay using a biometric fingerprint scanner. You can see what your child has ordered by logging in to ParentPay and adding additional funds if you wish.
Students can spend this money at our catering facilities on any food items they wish or purchase the meal deals on offer which are all priced at £2.30.
Your child may be entitled to free school meals if you receive any of the following:
- Universal Credit – provided you have an annual net income of no more than £7,400 a year, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods), this is after tax and does not include any other benefits you may receive.https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/eligibility

ParentPay information and lunch account debt
All new students will receive a letter with a unique code to be used with the ParentPay website – this will be issued shortly before or after they start at Manor Academy. Lunch accounts can also be topped up using cash by students using the revaluation machine in the hall.
Lunch money can also be topped up through a local PayPoint store – please contact our finance team to request a PayPoint barcode letter.
To ensure that the School’s budget is not adversely affected by the cost of school meal debt, we will seek prompt corrective action to recover the debt and inform parents as soon as possible to prevent the debt balance growing.
