Manshead School is a mixed Church of England secondary school and sixth form located on the outskirts of both Caddington and Dunstable in Bedfordshire, England. The school (surrounded by countryside and hills) is administered by the Dunstable Ashton Foundation.
The school is the modern successor to Dunstable Grammar School which existed from 1881 to 1971 when Bedfordshire adopted the comprehensive education system. from this time it was an upper school educating pupils aged 13–18, with Ashton Middle School in particular acting as a feeder school to Manshead. However in September 2014 Manshead became a full secondary school accepting pupils at aged 11.[1]
The school is named after the ancient Manshead hundred which covered an area in the south-west of Bedfordshire and included Dunstable.
