Check the area around this school
281st of 300 primary schools in Hampshire we can score, 420 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.1/10 against 1,939 of them, against 2.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 52.0 · 22 | 62% | 1.36 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 1.0 · 21 | 38% | 0.82 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Leaders have implemented an "ambitious and enriching curriculum" that prepares pupils well for their next steps, with parents expressing they feel "very lucky to be part of the Manor family."
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a curriculum that is "well suited to their needs," featuring educational visits and a rich array of authors to develop a "love of books."
- Staff demonstrate "expert subject knowledge" in phonics and reading, providing extra help to ensure pupils who fall behind can "catch up with their peers."
- The school has "effective processes" to identify and support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, including a specially resourced provision for hearing impairment.
- Behaviour is positive, with adults encouraging pupils to "reflect on their actions" to manage emotions and make improved choices.
- Pupils enjoy a wide range of opportunities, such as residential visits and extra-curricular activities, which help build "resilience and independence."
Areas to improve
- Assessment systems in some foundation subjects are "not well embedded," meaning staff do not consistently check for gaps in pupils’ knowledge over time.
- Occasionally, activity choices do not help children learn the intended curriculum as effectively as possible, meaning a small proportion of children are "not learning as well as they could."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
