Kings Manor Community College is a secondary school located in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex.

It takes the years 8, 9, 10 & 11. It has an adjoined sixth form college, the student population of which is derived primarily f rom the main school.

It has an K & M system, in which the years are split (e.g. K5). The split is mainly for ease of administration - for example in spliting pupils for lessons - and has little resemblance to a traditional 'house' system.

Year 8's & 9's wear dark blue shirts and Year 10 & 11 pupils wear pale blue.

The wide catchment area of the school results in pupils being taken from diverse social-economic backgrounds.

Despite a relatively poor academic record in general terms, a number of the school's pupils have been very successful in recent years, with several going on to study at highly-regarded British universities including the University of Bath, the University of Exeter, and the University of Sussex. The school boasts one pupil in its history to go onto Harvard University. More than half of the year year 11 pupil are getting grades between U and E no C's or B's.
