The Manor Primary School was previously rated ‘Requires Improvement’ overall in 2022, but Ofsted has now rated The Manor as ‘Good’ in every category, which includes the quality of education; behaviour and attitudes; personal development; leadership and management and early years provision. The glowing report praises “a tangible sense of aspiration and ambition at The Manor”, highlighting that the school vision ‘let your light shine’ “applies to each and every pupil”. Inspectors also note that pupils’ achievements are improving and new leaders have “completely overhauled the curriculum to meet the needs of pupils”. The curriculum is now “ambitious and interesting, opening pupils’ eyes to the world around them.” Pupils are described as “friendly and polite”, with the report reflecting that “pupils behave well and the classroom environment is calm and purposeful.” Some of the other highlights from the report include: • Pupils enjoy coming to school. • In the early years, skilled staff encourage children to use the correct vocabulary to express themselves. • Staff celebrate pupils’ achievements and are quick to offer support. • Staff swiftly identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils have individual plans to match their specific needs and pupils with SEND progress through the curriculum successfully and participate fully in school life. • Pupils benefit from a wide range of cultural experiences, including literature, arts, history, and traditions from different backgrounds. For example, pupils visit the theatre, the Houses of Parliament and the Jurassic coast. • Levels of attendance have risen sharply. • Staff are highly positive about the guidance they receive to hone their practice. They appreciate how leaders are mindful of the impact on staff workload. • The trust and the local governance committee are resolute in their ambition for every pupil to have the best start to their school life. Our Headteacher, Mr Michael Park, said: > “We are thrilled that this report reflects the caring and ambitious nature of our school. Thank you to all our pupils and their parents and all our staff; your hard work and dedication makes all the difference. We look forward to continuing to work together to provide the best support for all pupils." Simon Cowley, Director of Education at The White Horse Federation, said: > “Congratulations to everyone at The Manor. It is brilliant to see that this report reflects the significant progress the school has made. You should all be very proud. We will continue to support our colleagues’ unwavering ambition to deliver the best learning experience possible for every child.” Read the full latest report [here](https://www.themanor-school.co.uk/about-us/ofsted-report) [ Year 6 Houses of Parliament Visit](https://www.themanor-school.co.uk/news/2025-04-03-year-6-houses-of-parliament-visit) [Trust Highlights 2024–2025 ](https://www.themanor-school.co.uk/news/2025-07-23-trust-highlights-2024-2025-9) ![The Manor CofE School](https://files.schudio.com/the-manor-cofe-school/images/logo/The_manor_new_logo_-_WO_-__very_small(2).png) **The Manor CofE School** Ruskin Avenue Melksham Wiltshire SN12 7NG Tel: 01225 700150 ### Useful Links - [Privacy Policy](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [Cookies](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/cookies) - [GDPR](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/about-our-trust/gdpr) - [Modern Slavery Statement](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/modern-slavery-statement) - [Equality Act](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/policies/08_SP_V1_Equality,_Diversity_and_Inclusion_Policy_2026.pdf) ### Useful Links - [Behaviour Policy](https://files.schudio.com/the-white-horse-federation/files/documents/04_SP_V9_Behaviour_Policy_2026(1).pdf) - [Careers](https://www.themanor-school.co.uk/about-us/careers) - [Curriculum ](https://www.themanor-school.co.uk/overview) - [Facilities for Hire](https://schoolhire.co.uk/melksham/themanor) - [Arbor payments](https://www.themanor-school.co.uk/for-parents/arbor-payments) - [Contact Us](https://www.themanor-school.co.uk/contact) Proud to be a part of [**The White Horse Federation**](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) [![](https://www.themanor-school.co.uk/images/TWHF.png)](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/)[![](https://www.themanor-school.co.uk/images/logo/TWHF.png)](https://thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk/) Registered in England: Company Number: **08075785** Registered Office: Plymouth St, Swindon SN1 2LB © Copyright 2023–2026 The Manor CofE School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.themanor-school.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
