Drayton Manor High School, formerly Drayton Manor Grammar School, is an academy school located in Hanwell, west London, England. The school was granted academy status in August 2011. Its emblem is a phoenix rising from a crown with the legend 'Nec Aspera Terrent', which means 'hardships do not deter us'.
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.
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.
