Ash Manor School is a comprehensive, community secondary school located in Manor Road, Ash, Surrey, England.[1] Opened as Yeoman's Bridge School in 1948. The school was formed after a merger between two schools Yeomans Bridge and Robert Haining in 1986. There are 937 students.[2]

Standards

During the last full inspection carried out by Ofsted at the school in December 2012, the inspectors judged the school to be Good. This grade was upheld in an Ofsted short inspection in March 2017.[3]

Ms Susan Field, a French teacher, was let go in June 2019 after she made derogatory comments to her tutoring group about a transgender pupil who was then running for Head Girl. The sacking was upheld by a Professional Conduct Panel in 2021, which declined however to recommend a teaching ban to the Secretary of State in view of Field's 'otherwise unblemished 35-year teaching career', and the remorse she'd shown at the hearing.[4]

House system

Ash Manor is divided into four Houses.[5] Each are known for their strong individual characteristics and competitiveness in sport. While the House colours have remained unchanged, the names of the Houses were originally the surnames of famous people from British History, they were: Brunel, Faraday, Wells and Newton.[6] The current names were picked via democratic vote by the students within each house[citation needed] and are:

  •   Phoenix
  •   Sparta
  •   Galileo
  •   Venture

Previously, Year 7 had their own house, called Darwin, but this has since been merged back into the other houses. The house colour was gold and pupils were given matching gold house ties.[7]
