What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 June 2024

Pupils at Manorfield are happy and kept safe. They know they are cared for and well supported. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable. They are kind and polite to each other, the adults who work with them and visitors. Bullying is rare. Pupils understand what to do if it should occur and trust staff to help them. Leaders have high expectations of pupils. Pupils work hard and achieve well, including in national assessments. They are articulate and confident to discuss different ideas and express their opinions. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils' wider personal development is exceptional. They benefit from enrichment provided through the specialist chef, artist and horticulturalist in residence. At lunch times you will find pupils engaging in dedicated spaces, carefully tending plants and being responsible for their environment. There is a culture of respect throughout the school. Pupils learn about different faiths and cultures, how to keep safe and the importance of maintaining strong physical and mental health. As such, pupils are very well prepared for life in modern Britain.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, assessment is used less effectively to check what pupils have learned. This means that some pupils' knowledge is not as securely embedded. The school should ensure that assessment is used consistently well so that misconceptions are identified and addressed swiftly.
