What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Pupils at Manchester Road Primary Academy flourish. The school values the pupils' well- being and personal development alongside their academic achievements. Pupils enjoy attending school. They are well prepared for their next steps. They gain the confidence and depth of knowledge that they need to learn successfully. Pupils know that staff have high expectations of them. They rise to these high expectations and receive the support they need to thrive. The school's high ambition for pupils includes their behaviour and conduct. Pupils are very clear about how they should act in different situations and use the '3Ps' of 'pride, positivity and politeness' to guide their actions and daily routines. Pupils recognise the impact of their actions on others and take responsibility for the decisions they make. As a result, classrooms are typically calm and social times are abuzz with pupils' games and activities. Parents and carers are happy with the way that the school communicates with them. For example, parents feel that leaders respond quickly and appropriately to any concerns that they raise. The school provides a range of opportunities for parents to find out about the curriculum and how to support pupils with their learning at home.
What the school should improve
- The school's work to help pupils regularly revisit learning in some subjects is at the early stages of development. In these subjects, pupils find it hard to remember their learning over time. The school should develop systems that help pupils to remember more of their learning over time so that they can make meaningful connections and deepen their understanding.
