Sunbury Manor School is a secondary academy school in Sunbury-on-Thames, in Surrey, England.
The school educates an overwhelmingly number of children within its catchment area. Pupils are between 11 and 16 year old (i.e. in school years 7 to 11). The headteacher is Ms.Michelle Prentice. The school is conjoined with Sunbury Leisure Centre and makes use of the centre's resources. Sunbury Manor has been designated a Specialist Humanities College, with specialisms in English, History and Geography.
The school is a few hundred metres south-west of junction one of the M3; the same, south, of the Shepperton Branch Line, with pavements to Upper Halliford and Sunbury stations; and somewhat less, west, of the 216 and 235 bus routes.
This site was a quite productive smallholding (in medieval times of the locally great manor fields) in which sat a rather large house by the 1870s. In 1881 this house, as Mount Pleasant, which had earlier been a private school, was bought by the Good Templars and Temperance (educational) Orphanage [1] - a time in the height of Victorian Britain when purchase by a broad range of well-benefacted charities became possible. It took earlier premises in 1874 for the children of total abstainers of alcohol. It educated usually about 30-40 pupils. The site was to be named (by 1894 and thereafter) Marion Park, featuring a long rectangular pond to its east. [2] [3] The orphanage became conspicuously under-used after the passage of de-institutionalising legislation, discouraging institutions in favour of foster care in the United Kingdom and adoption, in the early 20th century; given how local population and housing had grown as industry and commuting expanded. Those children and warders/carers who remained were evacuated during World War II and was afterwards moved elsewhere. [1] The county council bought the property in 1952 and transformed the site via a new set of buildings into a conventional school. [1]
The school is indirect successor to the Sunbury County Grammar School, which opened in 1956 on the site with 150 boys and girls, administered by Middlesex County Council Educational Committee then (from 1965) the Northern Surrey Divisional Executive of Surrey Education Committee. The intermediate existence was as Sunbury County Secondary School, which accepted ages 12–16.
