We are currently seeking the following to join our team at Lady Manners School:

An established part of the school calendar, the Christmas service of Nine Lessons and Carols normally takes place in Bakewell Parish Church.  This year, however, we have brought the service online so that we may still enjoy this traditional event.

During October, we have been celebrating Black History Month and the subjects are focussing on black culture within their lessons. Members of staff have produced assembly videos, with special guests talking about their life experiences and challenges. 

Lady Manners School students are celebrating excellent GCSE results achieved in the very unusual circumstances presented this year.

Lady Manners School Sixth Form students have celebrated a strong set of A Level results in the very unusual circumstances presented this year.

Please find below further information about the reopening of Lady Manners School in September.  The information is in a question and answer format and we hope that this will provide you with a clearer picture of how the school will operate from September.  We will be writing to you again later in the summer as further details are finalised.  Within that communication, there will be information of how to contact the school should you have any questions or require further clarification.  We know that there will be lots of useful questions from parents and carers, but if we could respectfully ask you to wait until the second communication has been sent out to contact the school, we would be very grateful.

We were delighted to welcome our new Year 12 students to Lady Manners School on Monday 6 July, from the comfort of their own homes, in an online induction event.

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.

It is with a sense of privilege and excitement that I take up the position of Headteacher at Lady Manners School from Duncan Meikle. I am sure that I echo the views of the whole school community in expressing our gratitude to Mr Meikle for all his hard work and in wishing him a well-earned and enjoyable retirement.

We were delighted to welcome Mr Peat to school earlier this week.

Lady Manners School Sixth Former, Isobella Cottrell, has beaten off a very high level of competition to win the Sports Volunteer of the Year award in the Derby Telegraph Sports Awards.

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.
