The Mandeville School is a secondary school in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, built in the 1960s. There are approximately 1050 students currently attending Mandeville, aged between 11 and 18 years.

The school is a publicly maintained school, run by the Buckinghamshire Local Authority.

Currently graded Requires Improvement, the school has had several changes of leadership in recent years. The Headteacher Matthew Larminie has been in post since September 2020.

In July 2004 the school was awarded specialist school status as a Sports College, an accolade reserved for the more successful schools in England.

History[]

In 1996 a new headteacher with a reputation for turning failing schools around took over and the school saw significant changes. The level of students being excluded (either temporarily or permanently) from the school dropped and exam passes increased.

The school works with UNESCO in aiming to stop child labour and has a group of students set up who are interested in doing so. These students are also partnered with a school in Lebanon.

The school has a dedicated 6th Form building, the William Harding Centre, and works in partnership with the Buckinghamshire Sports Academy to offer a bespoke post-16 sporting professional programme for students.

Mobile phone masts[]

Mandeville School is one of several Buckinghamshire schools which host mobile phone masts. Contracts between Buckinghamshire County Council and various mobile phone operators generate an income of £145,000 per annum, of which about £59,000 comes from contracts for masts that are installed in schools.
