Carr Manor High School is a comprehensive school in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was formed from a merger of Lawrence Oates Middle School and Stainbeck High School in 1992 under headmaster Terry Burgon. The school holds specialist Sports College status.
For the new school year in September 2006, as part of a reorganisation of secondary education in Leeds, the school was rebuilt with new staff and a new headmaster, Simon Flowers. Carr Manor was set to lose its sixth form but gain extra buildings. In reality, the school still has a sixth form along with a new building. Previous to the new school being built, the school was earmarked for closure. However, after opposition from politicians, parents, staff and pupils, a new school was built to replace the old two buildings. The school was officially opened by Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, Prime Minister on 15 March 2007.
