Check the area around this school
18th of 60 primary schools in Walsall we can score, 85 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 2,075 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7/10 among them, against 6.0/10 nationally. 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Manor Primary School
Overview
Manor Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "warm and welcoming place" where pupils feel safe and valued. Leaders maintain high aspirations, ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, achieve well in a calm environment.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy learning in a respectful community where they "look out for each other" and bullying is not a concern.
- Teachers possess a "good understanding" of their subjects, using effective assessment and questioning to deepen understanding, particularly in mathematics.
- There is a successful whole-school focus on reading, with a phonics programme and library visits helping pupils to read "fluently and confidently."
- Staff receive strong support for their workload and well-being, with leaders providing time for collaborative planning.
- Pupils are taught to be responsible citizens through roles such as sports leaders and eco-champions.
Areas to improve
- The leadership team lacks sufficient capacity to sustain effectiveness, as leaders take on responsibilities beyond their roles.
- Governors should persist in recruiting at senior and middle leadership levels to match the school’s growth.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and reporting concerns confident that leaders will take effective action.
