St Michael's Church of England High School (formerly known as Manor High School) is a secondary school and sixth form located in Crosby, Merseyside, England. The school's missionary statement is: We will ensure that each individual is valued and achieves success within a caring Christian community. Facilities at the school include five computer rooms (140 computers in total), a lot of interactive whiteboards, a school farm, a science department, a sports hall and a gym. There is also a sixth form for students wishing to study A-Levels. The 2022 OFSTED result was 'requires improvement'. Aspects were 'good' apart from 'leadership and management', and 'quality of teaching'. There is now an Executive Head in place, Mrs S. Aspinwall. History Reports in 1973 noted that the school was "underused", whereby in contrast the nearby Chesterfield High School was overcrowded. A decision was reached by the council's education committee that local primary school St. Thomas's should instead be a feeder for Manor High School to balance the load more evenly. Due to vandalism, the education committee pressed for expediency on a caretaker's house to be built on the school site. A council report in February 1989 highlighted that areas of the school's building was in "urgent need of repair", including poorly fitted and rusted window frames, inadequate external lighting and a heating system which was not effective. The Director of Education John Marsden noted that the local authority had spent considerable sums undertaking repair and maintenance work at the school, which then accommodated around 715 pupils. The school came under criticism in June 1989 after cancelling a planned play of Our Day Out, citing concerns by parents who did not approve of the "bad language" and a scene which encouraged shop lifting. Playwright Willy Russell believed the language was only "staggeringly tame" and suggested that language used among students in the playground was likely to be more vulgar. Building work Work on a capital building project started on 26 November 2007 and finished in September 2008. During this time, the main hall was remodeled into a state-of-the art performing arts venue, the dining room facilities was extended and developed, and one of the entrance areas was renovated. Phase One This started in November 2007 and finished in April 2008; it included a new Main Hall, car park and entrance. This phase is complete and the school now has new media centre and main
