Aston Manor Academy is a mixed-sex secondary school in the Aston area of Birmingham, England. The school serves approximately 730 pupils aged 11–16. Due in part to the fact that it is situated in Aston, it has children from a wide variety of ethnic minority groups. The highest proportion of children at the school are of Bangladeshi origin at 24%, with Black Caribbean at 22%, Pakistani at 13%, Black at 9% and White British at 8%. A very high proportion do not speak English as their first language.[1] Reflecting the cultural diversity within the school, the school has its own steel band.[2]
Aston Manor School was recently awarded with the "Academy" status, thus changing it's name to Aston Manor Academy.

We are proud of the way in which our pupils conduct themselves both in school and outside. Visitors frequently compliment them on their ‘confident and courteous behaviour’. During every lesson, pupils’ efforts and conduct are monitored by staff.
This reward system keeps parents informed, lesson by lesson, about how their child is progressing. It draws on a support network which involves form tutors, heads of department, heads of year, assistant head teachers, parents and ultimately, the head teacher and school governors.
Something that is unique to Aston Manor is our ‘Daily Planner’ in which pupils’ efforts and conduct are rewarded lesson by lesson. Commendation stamps are recorded in pupils planners at the end of each lesson and these indicate to parents whether their child has worked as hard as they can all day. I wish my own children had been able to have such a system when they were at school! We believe that parental support is vital to an individuals success and we are proud of the excellent relationship we have with our parents.
