Manor Farm Community Infant School
About Manor Farm Community Infant School
Manor Farm Community Infant School in Buckinghamshire was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025, but the detail tells a more interesting story. The early years provision was judged Outstanding, the highest possible grade, which is particularly significant for a school that only covers Reception through Year 2. This means children in the earliest stage of their education are getting top-tier teaching and care. The school’s overall effectiveness was not judged this time around, as is standard for short inspections of previously Good schools, but the leadership and management, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and personal development were all rated Good. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, with the previous full inspection in 2011 also awarding Good overall. With 158 pupils against a capacity of 180, the school is not quite full, but it is clearly popular: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 104 applications for just 37 places, and 33 of those 37 went to first-preference families.
