What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2024
Manor High School leaders and pupils share the same high aspirations. Pupils understand and follow the values of, 'excellence, inspiration, resilience and respect'. Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and respectful. Pupils work hard and achieve very well. There is a purposeful atmosphere across the school. Pupils are considerate, polite and courteous. They work diligently and behave very well. Pupils focus on their learning well. On the rare occasions when there is low-level disruption, teachers act quickly and effectively to address it. During social times, pupils behave in a calm and orderly manner. They feel safe. They know who to talk to about any concerns they may have. Incidents of bullying are rare and quickly dealt with. Pupils regularly learn about the world from different perspectives. They are keen to explore and understand different cultures, beliefs and points of view. Pupils benefit from a wide range of additional opportunities that go beyond the academic curriculum. For example, pupils enjoy taking part in sports events and performing arts. This enables pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to regularly practise and develop their interests and talents.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, assessment is not used as effectively as it could be to determine what pupils have learned. On these occasions, misunderstandings, errors and gaps in learning are not identified and addressed before moving on to the next step of learning. The school must ensure that assessment is always used effectively to determine what pupils have learned and what it is that they need to learn next, thus embedding knowledge, understanding and skills in the longer term.
- At times, teaching is not adapted to enable pupils with SEND to access the same learning as their peers. As a result, these pupils do not always learn as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that teaching is suitably adapted, thus enabling pupils with SEND to learn the same curriculum, and learn as well as their peers.
