"Mixed experience so far"

While we're still relatively new to Manor Primary School, we've had a mixed experience so far. On the plus side, our child loves the Tree Planting activities with Plant Life South West, and the teachers seem genuinely enthusiastic about their subjects. However, we've encountered some communication issues with the school administration, and the school meals have been a bit hit-or-miss. We're hoping to see improvements in these areas.

"Wonderful experience for our child"

Manor Primary School has been a fantastic choice for our child. The teachers are caring, the facilities are excellent, and the values they instill are superb. We've been particularly impressed with the Science lessons, where the Squirrels class learned about 'Light' through hands-on experiments. It's a pleasure to see our child grow and thrive in such a supportive environment.

"Exceptional education and care"

We were thoroughly impressed with the education and care our child received at Manor Primary School. The school's emphasis on healthy eating was particularly noteworthy, as seen in the Year 4's delicious cheese and salad sandwiches. The staff are dedicated, friendly, and genuinely care about the children's well-being. We highly recommend Manor Primary to any parent seeking a nurturing and academically excellent environment.
