Manorside Primary School sits within the London borough of Barnet, a local authority with 91 primary schools, 14 of which hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself is ranked 38th out of 80 primaries in the borough based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, placing it in the top half of local schools.
