"Mixed Feelings About Manor School"

While we appreciate the school's efforts to provide a supportive environment, we've had some concerns about the consistency of teaching quality and the availability of resources. Our child has made some great friends, but we feel that the school could improve its communication with parents.

"Excellent School with Great Values"

We have nothing but praise for Manor School, which our child attended from Year 2 to Year 6. The 'Rosemary, Lavender, and Thyme' provisions were tailored to meet our child's needs, and the school's emphasis on pupil voice was impressive. We were particularly grateful for the support from the school council and the junior leaders.
