Lawn Manor Academy is a secondary school with academy status in Walcot, Swindon, Wiltshire, England. Its site is next to The Lawn, a public park which was the grounds of a manor house, home of the Goddard family.
The first school on this site was Lawn School, which opened in 1964.[3] In 1965, education in Swindon was reorganised and the secondary schools became comprehensive.[4] Around this time the school's name was changed to Churchfields School.[5] Following its conversion to academy status in 2012, the school was renamed Churchfields Academy.[6]
In May 2017, the school joined the Royal Wootton Bassett Academy Trust, and from September of that year its name became Lawn Manor Academy.[3]
From 2016 to 2023, the school received consistent "Requires Improvement" ratings from Ofsted. In 2023, the school achieved its first "Good" rating in nearly a decade.[7]
