At Carr Manor Community School we offer an ‘all-through’ learning environment that is relationship-led, inclusive, collaborative and ambitious.

School Values

At Carr Manor Community School we have four key values that ensure every child can achieve the best possible outcomes:

Know our children well

Partners in Learning

Character for learning

enjoy and achieve

We believe that strong relationships lead to great learning. By getting to know children as individuals, we can better support them; our unique Coaching programme is the starting point for this.

We are a school that serves our community. Our pupils and staff work in close partnership with parents, volunteers, local charities, businesses, colleges, universities and other schools.

Resilience, motivation and independence are essential characteristics to be successful in the modern world. Our curriculum is designed to challenge and engage our pupils.

If children enjoy their learning they are more likely to succeed. We are deeply proud of our most recent Ofsted report and our strong results from the Early Years Foundation Stage right through to exam level.

What makes us different

We are proud of our unique educational offer, which includes:

coaching

Our Coaching Programme allows us to form the strong relationships that are crucial for our community. Having a coach means that each pupil has an advocate for them in school.

RESTORATIVE PRACTICE

Our use of Restorative Practice ensures we offer a high level of support to pupils and staff, as well as challenging teaching and learning to improve performance and outcomes.

Mosaic is a specialist provision based on our school site for pupils with additional specialist needs. We have a dedicated staff team who run our Mosaic centre on the school grounds.

The opportunities of having this unique set up, with Pre-School to Year 12 provisions all on one site, are vast. We have a personalised curriculum so all pupils can enjoy and achieve.

We have a talented staff team who make up our Support Services. We offer our services to a range of local organisations, improving life for businesses and children of the future.

members of
the leeds learning alliance

We are founding members of the Leeds Learning Alliance (LLA).

Being part of the Alliance not only helps to improve the outcomes of our pupils by increasing the opportunities available to them through collaboration with other Alliance members, but also provides opportunities for our staff members to share and develop best practices.

Our pupils have been involved in careers workshops with Ahead Partnership, volunteering and workshops at CATCH, experienced the facilities at Leeds Beckett and Leeds Trinity University and had the chance to watch professional sport through the Leeds Rhinos Foundation.

We have had visits from high-ranking officers from the West Yorkshire Police, pupils have met with representatives of First Bus, and we have had workshops from the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. Our pupils have also delivered presentations at Leeds Learning Alliance meetings and conferences, considering issues of climate change and social justice.
