Outcomes and achievements
Young people studying at Newbury Manor School are able to take a variety of nationally accredited courses. Recent results include GCSE results, which are very strong but increasingly we are supporting young people with more vocational needs too and so are offering an increasingly broad range of accreditation options in order to meet needs.
