Strengths
- “There is a tangible sense of aspiration and ambition at The Manor.”
- “The school vision of ‘let your light shine’ applies to each and every pupil.”
- “Staff know pupil’s individual needs and talents.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, what is known about pupils’ learning is not used to adapt the curriculum effectively.”
