Heaton Manor School is a 11–18 state comprehensive school in Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne.
The school building, fully rebuilt acrimoniously in 2004 from PFI funding replaced two separate sites (known as the Jesmond and Benton sites) which in turn were made up of a number of different schools. The PFI company, renamed to Vita, in 2007 hit the school with 'fines' of around £764,000 which almost led to the schools closure.

“This philosophy of hate, of religious and racial intolerance, with its passionate urge toward war, is loose in the world. It is the enemy of democracy; it is the enemy of all the fruitful and spiritual sides of life. It is our responsibility, as individuals and organizations, to resist this.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
“What a wise and good parent will desire for his own children a nation must desire for all children.”
