Strengths

“Manor Primary Academy is a place pupils want to be.”
“Pupils say the school is ‘one big family’.”
“They feel happy and safe and enjoy their learning.”

To improve

“Sometimes, a small number of pupils are distracted in lessons and the work that pupils produce is not always finished or of high quality.”
“This means that the curriculum is not always implemented as intended and expectations of pupils are not always high enough.”
“However, the needs of some pupils with SEND are not identified quickly and not all receive timely support.”
