What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 April 2024
Manor Park is an inclusive community of pupils from diverse backgrounds and faiths. Pupils warmly welcome overseas pupils, and those who speak English as an additional language. This helps new arrivals to settle quickly. The diverse culture within the school ensures that all pupils develop a common understanding of the wider world. The school values pupils as individuals and as important members of the school community. Caring relationships between staff and pupils underpin the school's positive ethos. Pupils feel safe in school and know how to keep themselves safe online and in the local area. They know that they can speak to a trusted adult if they have a problem. They are confident that they will receive any support needed. Pupils' behaviour is typically good. Pupils show good levels of respect for others. Most conduct themselves in lessons and around school sensibly. Pupils know the difference between bullying and isolated behaviour incidents. Staff manage behaviour fairly and consistently. Pupils enjoy the variety of extra-curricular opportunities the school offers. This includes a range of clubs, visits and visitors. Unique events are offered to provide pupils with memorable experiences. The '11 before 11' initiative includes a residential visit to France and a powder paint, colour race.
What the school should improve
- The delivery of phonics is inconsistent, and some lower-attaining pupils do not receive the support needed. This means that some pupils do not learn to read as well as they should. The school should ensure that staff have the skills needed to deliver phonics consistently well and provide the support needed to help pupils who fall behind catch up quickly.
- Attendance for some pupils remains too low, especially pupils with SEND. This means they miss vital lessons and school opportunities. The school should continue to work with parents to instil the importance of regular attendance.
