Robert Manning College is a co-educational comprehensive state secondary school in Bourne, Lincolnshire. It is situated on Edinburgh Crescent, to the north of the town. The school badge represents the "Wake Knot", which is a heraldic device referring to the Wake family, previous Lords of the Manor of Bourne. This is very similar to the knot known to sailors and Boy Scouts as a carrick bend.

The college was originally part of the Star Lane Board School, which is now the 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. The sixth form started in 1988 and in 1989 extension premises were opened by Kenneth Baker, Secretary of State for Education, and the architect of wide-ranging reforms of the education system (See Education in England). In 1999 the school attained Technology College status and the name changed again, to Robert Manning Technology College.

In January 2007, it was announced that in recognition of its excellence, the school had been invited by the government to apply to take on a second speciality in Vocational Education, and that its application was successful. Due to the school's new speciality, the Governors decided to change the name once more, to "The Robert Manning College".

At the end of summer term in 2007, headmaster G.R. Greatwood retired and L.Reilly was appointed to take his place.
