The majority of our students travel to and from school by bus and so we wanted to ensure that parents and carers are aware of the following information regarding bus travel.

Year 9 students (and their parents) are now thinking about what subjects they will study in Key Stage 4 (Upper School). These are important choices and there is a range of information available to help.

As you are probably aware, Shutts Lane is very busy at the beginning and end of the school day. With over 1,300 students arriving or leaving the site at the same time, safety is our prime concern.

There were smiles all round at Lady Manners School as students celebrated another year of excellent GCSE results.

A level results will be published on Thursday 15 August and GCSE results on Thursday 22 August:

Over the past few years, we have been making changes to the way we communicate with parents in order to improve the effectiveness of our communications and to respond to the wishes of parents.  Changes have included the redesign of our website; the introduction of text messages to inform of school closure; and termly ‘News and Information’ emails.

The Lady Manners School catering team provide up to 1,300 healthy and delicious meals every school day.  Here we focus some well-deserved attention on them, in one of an occasional series of articles on some of the unsung heroes of our school.

Information and advice on how to help your children to stay safe online is available on our 'Keeping Safe' page.  Click here to have a look.

We appreciate that, sometimes, it can be difficult to know who to contact at school.  In order to assist, we have three easily remembered email addresses for parents' use
