Manor School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 May 2025

Manor School enables every pupil to flourish. Pupils enjoy school because they are kept safe and treated with dignity and respect by staff and each other. They meet the ambitious expectations staff have for what they can achieve, both academically and personally. Learning is a real joy for pupils here and a sense of purposeful fun pervades the school from the Reception Year onwards. Pupils are treated as individuals by staff, who think very carefully about what is best for each of them. Pupils are encouraged to communicate their choices and options in a way that suits them best. For example, the 'magic breakfast' develops pupils' social skills by encouraging them to make choices, share, take turns, learn how to say no and acquire a healthy attitude to eating. Pupils are also exposed to a range of enriching experiences so they can discover and develop their talents and interests. This is through the more formal curriculum as well as the extensive range of visits, clubs and workshops on offer. Pupils typically behave exceptionally well because they are helped by staff who take the time to understand the cause of any negative emotions. Over time pupils, make significant progress in how they learn to recognise and manage their feelings.
