Manor Fields Primary School is a school where every child is valued and where their curiosity, creativity and individuality are celebrated.

At Manor Fields, we are proud of our friendly and aspirational school. We welcome children from age three to eleven years old, providing a culture of possibility where every child really does matter, coupled with a belief that all things are possible. We provide a holistic approach to education, aiming to genuinely prepare our children for life in the 21st century as global citizens, giving them solid foundations and an enthusiasm for life-long learning.

Our school community is built on trust and respect for one another and a belief that everyone has the capacity to succeed. All staff are passionate about education and seek to inspire and ignite a love of learning. We provide a very stimulating academic curriculum together with a strong tradition of music and sport. Some of our additional activities include orchestra, debating club, dance and drama. The extensive school grounds are used regularly by children of all ages to learn and explore beyond the classroom. We have a Forest School that encourages children to use natural habitats in which to learn a wide range of skills, as well as a gym trail and wildlife area.

Both staff and governors bring expertise, enthusiasm and experience. We are passionate about sharing high expectations and ensuring every child achieves his or her full potential, both academically and personally. Children learn best when they feel safe to take on challenges, when they feel inspired, when they feel valued and when their achievements are celebrated.

Manor Fields’ children are ambitious, motivated and caring, and we are very proud of their achievements in all fields of the curriculum.
