Welcome

Welcome to Manor CE Infant School

I am extremely proud to be the Headteacher at such a wonderful school. Manor caters for girls and boys from four to seven years old and is maintained by Hampshire County Council. We aim to encourage and enthuse children with a love of learning and support each other to be the best we can be.

Our Christian ethos underpins the life of the school and is embedded in all aspects of school life. Our core Christian values are ‘Love, Trust and Truth’.

The school team aim to make the children’s school experiences fulfilling and worthwhile, at the same time helping them to become confident and caring young members of the school and our community.

We warmly welcome visits to the school from prospective parents and extend an invitation to parents, families and local residents to attend our community events.

Comments from Attached Inspector Visit - January 2025

'Manor is self-improving as evidenced by the high standards in phonics, the impact of the mathematics and English leaders on ensuring strong implementation of the school’s chosen approaches and the impact of the SENDCo on provision for individual children with SEND.'

'The headteacher and other leaders have worked hard to ensure that provision across the school is strong.'

'Teaching and learning as evidenced on the visit are strong across all classes. Strengths include the quality and impact of questioning, the clarity of modelling, the quality of task design and the impact of additional adults to ensure interventions support some children to close curriculum gaps and keep up.'

'Children are happy, enjoying their learning and are well mannered.'

'High expectations and strong relationships ensure that all children are productive and developing their independence.'

'Phonics attainment has strengthened over the last three years, and is well above average. The schools chosen approach and the associated interventions are ensuring high outcomes in reading fluency and transcription. Other schools have come to observe the provision, due to its strength.'

'The wider curriculum is broad, balanced, and progressive.'

Comments from the parents of children who came to Manor:
