From the Aston Manor Academy
Children of all abilities are catered for at our school in a regulated setting and through a variety of extracurricular activities. Our staff members are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and dedicated to seeing that every student realises their full potential. We presently have more than 900 students enrolled, and we take great satisfaction in having a close-knit community where everyone feels appreciated and included. Children transferring from primary schools can do so and swiftly integrate. We are pleased with how well-behaved our students are both inside and outside of the classroom. They routinely receive compliments from visitors for their "assured and polite behaviour." Staff members keep an eye on the students' behaviour and effort throughout each lesson. At the conclusion of a lesson, students record praise stamps in their planners. Form tutors keep an eye on this during afternoon registration. This programme guarantees that students who are working hard are rewarded and identifies those who could work harder.
