Manorfield Primary and Nursery School

About Manorfield Primary and Nursery School

Manorfield Primary and Nursery School in Reigate and Banstead holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. Inspectors judged both behaviour and attitudes and personal development as Outstanding, while quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management were all rated Good. On the key academic measure for a primary school, 75% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits comfortably above the Surrey local authority average of 66%, placing Manorfield 44th out of 298 primary schools in the county. Within the Reigate and Banstead borough specifically, the school ranks 4th out of 21 primaries when measured by the same combined expected standard metric, putting it in the top 25% nationally.

Looking closer at the individual subject scores, the school’s strengths become clearer. In reading, 93% of pupils reached the expected standard and 22% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 107. Maths saw 85% at expected and 31% at the higher level, also averaging 107. Writing was slightly lower, with 76% at expected and 11% at the higher level. These results are particularly notable given that 37.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average. The school does not have published progress scores for reading, writing or maths, so it is not possible to compare how much value it adds relative to pupils’ starting points, but the attainment outcomes are strong enough to place Manorfield among the better-performing primaries in Surrey.

The school is significantly oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 129 applications for just 30 places, with 38 first-preference applications and an oversubscription ratio of 4.3 to one. Manorfield has a nursery for children aged two and above, and its facilities include a library, playing fields, a sports hall, a sensory room, an ICT suite and a chapel. The SEND provision covers a wide range of needs, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language communication difficulties, and social, emotional and mental health needs. Sports on offer include tennis, football, cricket, netball, gymnastics and dance, while clubs range from chess and coding to art, book club and drama. This is a school that delivers strong academic outcomes in a challenging context, and its popularity with local families reflects that.
