About Manor Junior School

Manor Junior School, a state primary in Rushmoor for children aged 7 to 11, sits below the Hampshire local authority average for its key stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths is 61%, but at Manor Junior School that figure is 52%. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools within the county, ranking 229th out of 425. Its overall ranking score of 52 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally, and within the Rushmoor borough it ranks 12th out of 16 schools. While the school is not among the top performers in the area, it is worth noting that it serves a community with a relatively high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 37%, which can affect headline attainment figures.

Academically, the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025 rated it Good across all areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This is a consistent rating, as the school also held a Good grade in its previous inspection in 2016. In the 2023/24 key stage 2 assessments, 69% of pupils met the expected standard in maths and 68% in reading, though writing was lower at 61%. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard was 19% in maths, 20% in reading, and just 8% across all three subjects. Progress scores are not available in the data, but average scaled scores of 103 in both reading and maths suggest pupils are broadly meeting the national average of 100.

The school offers a range of facilities including a sensory room, forest school area, ICT suite, sports hall, gymnasium, music rooms, and a chapel. Clubs include film, eco, book and drama, while sports on offer are football, netball, rounders, gymnastics and dance. SEND provisions cover moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health, speech, language and communication, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. Parent views are overwhelmingly positive, with 94% of respondents recommending the school. Strong majorities agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, feels safe, and that the school has high expectations. The school is slightly undersubscribed, with 303 pupils against a capacity of 332, which may appeal to families seeking a less pressured environment. Manor Junior School is best suited to families who value a supportive, inclusive atmosphere and a broad range of activities over top-tier academic rankings.
