Robert Manning College (RMTC) is a co-educational secondary modern state school in Bourne, Lincolnshire, England. It is one of two secondary schools, both co-educational, in the town. However, from the academic year starting 2011 it will change it's name to the Bourne Academy as Michael Gove gave permission for this to happen in the previous academic year. It is situated on Edinburgh Crescent, to the north of the town next to the leisure centre. The school badge represents the "Wake Knot", which is a heraldic device referring to the Wake family, previous Lords of the Manor of Bourne, and is very similar to the carrick bend. The college was originally part of the Star Lane Board School, which is now the Bourne Abbey School, a primary school. Following the Education Act 1944 the secondary school was divided out and moved to temporary premises at a separate site in 1946. In July 1958 the first permanent buildings were opened at Edinburgh Crescent, and the school adopted the name Bourne County Secondary School. In 1987 the name was changed to the Robert Manning School.
