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, 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 status in 2000 and won the School Achievement Award for Excellence three years in a row. In the 2012 Ofsted inspection report, the school was rated outstanding.
News
On November 25, 2016, an inspection carried out by the Food Standards Agency of the school canteen revealed that there were "urgent improvements necessary" to be made to the hygienic handling of food including preparation, cooking, re-heating, cooling and storage. The canteen was awarded a food hygiene rating of 0 out of 5. It was reported that this was due to the sighting of a rodent by an unnamed source. A letter was sent out to parents by the school in response to the rating, claiming that discussions on social media about the incident were "not entirely accurate".
Court case
On 28 October 2008, Drayton Manor High School successfully contested a ruling in the High Court. Ealing Council had accused the school of discriminating against children living in poorer areas by only admitting those that lived close to the school.
