Strengths
- “Manor Hill First School is a caring school where pupils are happy and safe.”
- “Parents and carers are very positive about the school.”
- “One parent summed up the views of many when they said, ‘This is more than a school: it is a community where children and families are supported and cared for.’”
To improve
- “However, some staff are not always clear about the best ways to deliver the planned curriculum.”
- “When this is the case, activities chosen do not always enable pupils to learn and remember as well as they could.”
- “This means that sometimes the curriculum does not always have the strong impact that leaders intend.”
