Sir Roger Manwood's School was founded in 1563 and since that time has gone through various stages in its development. Throughout the years, the commitment and expertise of the staff, students, parents and governors has been its ongoing strength. These attributes have ensured that the school has continued to flourish over the years. The school was judged 'Outstanding' in all categories by Ofsted in April 2012, as was its boarding provision in February 2018. https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/inspection-reports/find-inspection-report/provider/ELS/136501
