The first school on this site was Lawn School, which opened in 1964.^[3] In 1965, education in Swindon was reorganised and the secondary schools became comprehensive.^[4] Around this time the school's name was changed to Churchfields School.^[5] Following its conversion to academy status in 2012, the school was renamed Churchfields Academy.^[6]

In May 2017, the school joined the Royal Wootton Bassett Academy Trust, and from September of that year its name became Lawn Manor Academy.^[3]
