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.

“What if all the forces of society were bent upon developing [poor] children? What if society’s business were making people instead of profits? How much of their creative beauty of spirit would remain unquenched through the years? How much of this responsiveness would follow them through life?”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
“The future is built on brains, not prom court, as most people can tell you after attending their high school reunion. But you’d never know it by talking to kids or listening to the messages they get from the culture and even from their schools.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1953)
