Lea Manor High School Performing Arts College is a secondary school in Luton, Bedfordshire which opened in 1974. The most recent OFSTED Inspection Report graded the school as "Good" with good capacity to improve further. The school was awarded with Performing Arts specialism in 2007.
Lea Manor High School is a specialised Performing Arts college, dedicated to showing off the talent in each of its students. Each year, the school performs numerous musicals or plays which include We Will Rock You, Anything Goes, Oliver!, Grease, Annie, The Wizard Of Oz, Billy Elliot and was the first school in Bedfordshire to successfully perform The Diary of Anne Frank.
The specialism has funded many school trips to West End Theatres to see shows such as The Lion King, Chicago, The Woman In Black and Wicked.
Currently, Lea Manor High School is undergoing building and refurbishing work under the government's Building Schools for the Future Programme (BSF) and is one of the first schools in Luton to be transformed. The building firm Wates Group won the contract to rebuild or remodel every secondary school in Luton. The school will be more student-friendly and modern, including a brand new community library and community theatre which will become the biggest in Luton.
