'''Drayton Manor High School''', formerly '''Drayton Manor Grammar School''', is an [[Academy (English school)|academy school]] located in [[Hanwell]], west [[London]], [[England]]. The school was granted [[Academy (England)|academy]] status in August 2011.

== History ==
Drayton Manor High School was founded in 1930 as a county [[grammar school]] serving local children. With the reorganisation of schools in the [[London Borough of Ealing]] and abolition of the [[Tripartite system of education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland|tripartite system]], Drayton Manor received its first comprehensive intake in 1975 and changed its name to reflect this change in status.
 
In more recent years, Drayton Manor has distinguished itself as one of the borough's top performing state schools. It was awarded [[Beacon school|Beacon]] status in 2000 and won the School Achievement Award for Excellence three years in a row.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.draytonmanorhighschool.co.uk/ourhistory|title=Our History|website=Drayton Manor High School|access-date=9 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130530051307/http://www.draytonmanorhighschool.co.uk/ourhistory|archive-date=30 May 2013|url-status = dead}}</ref> In the 2012 [[Ofsted]] inspection report, the school was rated outstanding.<ref>{{cite news|title=Excellent Ofsted at Drayton Manor High|url=http://www.ealinggazette.co.uk/ealing-news/local-ealing-news/2012/06/27/excellent-ofsted-at-drayton-manor-high-64767-31272722/|work=Ealing Gazette|date=27 June 2012}}</ref>
 
== Court case ==
On 28 October 2008, Drayton Manor High School successfully contested a ruling in the [[High Court of Justice|High Court]]. [[Ealing London Borough Council]] had accused the school of discriminating against children living in poorer areas by only admitting those that lived close to the school.<ref name="Court Ruling">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7695284.stm |title=Drayton Manor wins case | date = 28 October 2008 |accessdateaccess-date=30 October 2008 |work=[[BBC News]] }}</ref>
