Lawn Manor Academy is a secondary school with academy status in Walcot, Swindon, Wiltshire, England. Its site is next to The Lawn, a public park which was the grounds of a manor house, home of the Goddard family.
The first school on this site was Lawn School, which opened in 1964.[2] In 1965, education in Swindon was reorganised and the secondary schools became comprehensive;[3] around this time the school's name was changed to Churchfields School. In September 2011 it became Churchfields Academy.[4]
In May 2017, the school joined the Royal Wootton Bassett Academy Trust, and from September of that year its name became Lawn Manor Academy.[2]
