About Manorside Primary School
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. Among its top-performing peers are Courtland School, St Andrew's CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School in Totteridge, and Ashmole Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Chalgrove Primary School, roughly two kilometres away. Manorside’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in April 2024, judged the school as Good overall, with all assessed areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — each rated Good. This marks a change from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was rated Outstanding.
