About Salisbury, Manor Fields Primary School

Salisbury, Manor Fields Primary School sits within the Wiltshire local authority, where it ranks 64th out of 159 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top half of its local peers. The top-performing schools in the area are Stanton St Quintin Primary and Nursery School, The Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Academy, and Sutton Veny CofE School, all of which score higher on the same metric. Manor Fields is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 5 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery provision. Headteacher Jessica Clarke leads a school that is close to full capacity, with 225 pupils against a published capacity of 230. The school is notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 92 applications for 30 places, with 27 of those going to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests it is a popular choice among local parents, even if it does not top the LA rankings.
