About Manor Primary School

Manor Primary School has been rated Good across all five categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. The school’s leadership and management, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision all now hold the second-highest grade. On the most telling academic metric for a primary school, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (RWM) stands at 50%. This is below the Oxfordshire local authority average of 61%, placing Manor in the bottom half of schools nationally for this measure. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 63% in writing, and 60% in maths. The school’s average scaled scores of 104 in reading and 102 in maths are both above the national baseline of 100, suggesting that while combined attainment is lower than average, pupils are making solid progress in core areas.
