About Manor Primary School

Manor Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 68 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.43. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and all 27 first-preference applicants were offered a place. While the school doesn't publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, the high demand speaks for itself. Headteacher Fiona Swain leads a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. The school has capacity for 354 pupils and currently enrols 315, so it is running close to full. A significant 37.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, reflecting the diverse intake the school serves. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, Manor Primary was rated Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a consistent improvement from its previous Good rating in 2012.
