About Manchester Road Primary Academy

Manchester Road Primary Academy is a fantastic place for children to learn, and I believe that children who come here enjoy being at school and are enthusiastic about their learning and their prospective futures. The ethos we promote here is one of respect for others and all the different skills, knowledge and understanding that the children bring to our school community.

"Excellent School for My Son!"

I'm so glad I chose Manchester Road Primary Academy for my son. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the 3 P's (Pride, Positivity and Politeness) are really valued here. My son loves the after-school clubs, especially the sports ones!

"Some Positives, Some Room for Improvement"

I'm generally happy with Manchester Road Primary Academy, but I feel that there could be more communication from the teachers about what my child is learning. The facilities are great, though, and my daughter loves the PE lessons!

"Wonderful School Experience"

My daughter attended MRPA from Reception to Year 6, and I couldn't be happier with the education and care she received. The school's focus on British values and character development was fantastic, and the staff were always supportive.
