John Mansfield School was located in the Dogsthorpe area of Peterborough, England.

The new school was relocated and called the Thomas Deacon Academy of Peterborough.

It achieved excellent 'Value Added'results and received recognition as an improved school three years running.

The head teacher fought against the planned action and had a great deal of support from the local community.

A few former students openly welcomed the idea in the local press after a misleading letter was published by one of the supporters of the campaign.
