What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 June 2024
The school is proud of its 'family feel'. This contributes to pupils feeling valued and part of the Manea community. Staff know all the pupils as individuals. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and respectful. Because of this, pupils feel happy and safe at school. They know staff will help them with any problems. The school understands pupils' individual needs well. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children experience care and nurture from the moment they arrive in the early years. Pupils appreciate the wonderful outdoor environment. Although there is major building work going on, pupils do not let this stop them having fun outside at playtimes. Pupils play well together and are supportive of each other. They show tolerance and appreciate each other's differences. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and conduct. Right from the early years, everyone follows the well-established school routines. Pupils know what is expected of them. This helps create a calm environment across the school. Leaders aspire for every pupil to achieve their best. In lessons, teachers help pupils to focus on important knowledge. Pupils show positive attitudes towards their learning and are keen to answer questions.
What the school should improve
- The school's curriculum has recently been reviewed. Some subjects are at an early stage of development. In these subjects, pupils' learning experiences do not always sufficiently help them to learn and remember more. The school must continue to provide training so all staff are able to teach these subjects well.
- The school's curriculum is not always adapted to meet the needs of all pupils with SEND. Some pupils do not develop their knowledge and skills as well as they could. The school must ensure all staff receive training so they know how to adapt the curriculum to enable pupils with SEND to achieve as well as they can.
- The curriculum for pupils' wider development is not yet broad enough. Pupils do not have many opportunities to contribute to the life of the school and develop their character. The school should review its curriculum to ensure there are opportunities for pupils to develop their strength of character and to make a positive contribution to the school.
