About Cedars Manor School

Cedars Manor School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Harrow local authority average, which is a significant point to weigh up. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 63%, compared with the LA average of 72% for primary schools. That nine-point gap places Cedars Manor 31st out of 41 primary schools in Harrow, and in the bottom half nationally (48.5th percentile). On the other hand, the school’s maths average score of 105 is solid, and 82% of pupils met the expected standard in maths alone — a stronger individual subject result. The picture is more mixed in reading and writing, where 70% and 75% of pupils respectively hit the expected mark. The proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects is just 7%, which is low, though 32% achieved the higher standard in maths. For parents focused on headline attainment, these figures suggest a school that is working to close the gap with its local peers.
