About Manor Primary School

Manor Primary School is a large state primary in Barking and Dagenham, currently home to 1,194 pupils against a capacity of 1,300, meaning it runs close to full but still has a little headroom. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 17.3%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23%, but still significant enough to indicate a mixed socioeconomic intake. Demand is clearly strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 176 applications for 116 places, making it officially oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.52 applicants per place. Of those, 110 families put Manor as their first preference, and 110 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that almost everyone who wanted a place as their top choice got one. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age three through to eleven, with nursery provision on site. It’s a genuinely local school, drawing families from across the borough, and the oversubscription figures suggest it’s a popular choice among those who live nearby.
