Strengths
- “At Manorbrook, the values of respect, responsibility and resilience are woven into school life.”
- “Leaders and staff clearly demonstrate these values.”
- “Everyone treats each other with respect, trust and fairness.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have not finished identifying the essential knowledge that pupils should learn in all subjects.”
- “This means that in some subjects, it is harder for pupils to build the links in their understanding that help them remember their learning.”
