OFSTED Inspection

 

We are really pleased to be able to share with you our OFSTED report following our inspection on Tuesday 18th July 2023.

 

Manor was last inspected in March 2018 when it was judged as ‘Good’. When OFSTED have judged a school to be good, they will then normally go into the school about once every four years to confirm that the school remains good. This is called an ungraded inspection, and it is carried out under section 8 of the Education Act 2005. OFSTED do not give graded judgements on an ungraded inspection.

 

The possible outcomes from a short section 8 ungraded inspection of a good school are the following four options:

 

Outcome 1: The school continues to be a good school

or

Outcome 2: The school remains good and there is sufficient evidence of improved performance to suggest that the school may be judged outstanding if it received a section 5 inspection now

or

Outcome 3: The lead inspector is not satisfied that the school would receive at least its current grade if a section 5 inspection were carried out now

or

Outcome 4: The lead inspector has gathered evidence that suggests the school may be inadequate in one or more of the graded judgements.

 

We are delighted that that we have achieved outcome 1 and feel that this acknowledges the hard work and dedication of the staffing team and Governors over the last 5 and a bit years.

 

The inspection letter has highlighted many strengths.  These include:

 

• Children in the early years get off to a strong start.

• Staff have consistently high ambitions for all pupils to achieve well.

• A passion for reading pervades the school.

• Staff have strong subject knowledge.

• Leaders have created a culture where positive behaviour is expected by all.

• Pupils have positive attitudes towards their learning.

• Pupils’ enthusiasm for learning is infectious.

• Pupils achieve well across the curriculum.

• Pupils here are proud to live out their school values of love, trust and truth.

• A calm and purposeful environment permeates throughout the school.

• Pupils are safe and happy in this nurturing school, where everyone is valued for who they are.

• Parents comment on the caring, family feel and the work of the staff in supporting pupils.

• Pupils are enthusiastic about reading.

• Across the school, teachers use skilful questioning to check pupils’ understanding. Staff the tailor learning, so that pupils achieve well.

• There are strong systems in place to help identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

• Pupils understand that everyone is different and are keen to celebrate what makes them special.

 

We are very clear about our priority for improvement and had already started to address this.

 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many parents who took the time to respond on Parent View. We really appreciate all of the very positive comments that you provided and that you took the time to support us.

 

Kind regards,
