Cavendish Primary School
About Cavendish Primary School
Cavendish Primary School is a popular choice among Manchester families, with the school being oversubscribed — it has a capacity of 720 places, and the level of demand means places are highly sought after. While the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection rated it Good overall, the parent experience is a strong signal: the school’s parent view data shows a high recommendation rate, with the vast majority of parents who responded saying they would recommend the school to other families. This positive feedback is reinforced by the school’s strong community feel, with facilities like a Forest School, sensory room, and outdoor playground that parents often highlight as valuable for their children’s development. The school serves children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available, and is a mixed, non-religious state primary in the Manchester local authority. Its headteacher is J Taylor, and the school does not have a sixth form.
