About Manor Infant and Nursery School

Manor Infant and Nursery School serves children from age 2 to 7 in Portsmouth, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That consistency is worth noting because Portsmouth has no primary schools rated Outstanding at all, out of 45 in the local authority. So a solid Good here places the school among the stronger options locally. The school’s Key Stage 2 average attainment score is not published in the data, but the local authority average for KS2 is 53, which gives a useful benchmark for parents comparing schools in the area. With 44 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, Manor Infant and Nursery serves a significantly disadvantaged intake compared with many primaries, making its sustained Good rating across two inspections — the previous one in 2017 was also Good — a meaningful indicator of consistent quality.
