Manor Croft Academy draws directly from the local community with the majority of pupils living within walking distance. The vast majority of its intake comes from its four main feeder primary schools. Located in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, Manor Croft is an exciting place to learn and we are committed to delivering a high quality education for all our students. At Manor Croft Academy we believe that our core purpose is to prepare young people to enter a fast moving and rapidly changing environment. To prepare them for such a challenge we work to develop their skills, knowledge and resilience, which in turn will enable them to achieve the highest possible qualifications. Whilst there is a strong emphasis on academic achievement all students are encouraged to take part in a wide range of extra-curricular activities outside the classroom. It is essential for our success to maintain high standards at all times and this is only possible with collaboration between staff, parents and students. Our challenge is to provide the global education that gives our students the tools necessary to compete in the world market and by working together we can do this.
