Ofsted praises Manor Farm Academy
07 Mar 2025
We have developed an environment where respect and honesty are valued, and individuality and difference are celebrated. By harnessing the sense of wonder, curiosity, determination and independence that we see in our youngest pupils, and by encouraging our pupils to never stop asking why, we hope that a love of learning that extends beyond our academy walls is fostered. It is important to us that every pupil that leaves Manor Farm Academy is the best that they can be, that they are kind, confident and articulate and that they have a strength in their own convictions.
Our curriculum is ambitious and fosters our pursuit of both academic excellence and personal development- no time is wasted in realising this. Throughout their time at our academy, our pupils are inspired to discover new knowledge because of the deliberately planned opportunities for enrichment.
We believe that everyone in the school community: pupils, staff, parents and governors are partners with important contributions to make to the success and daily life of the academy. Manor Farm Academy is a warm and welcoming environment and we are dedicated to working together in order to achieve excellence and high outcomes for all of our pupils.

Last week, year 6 spent the whole day learning about Hinduism and Indian culture to support their work in R.E. They learned the story of Rama and Sita, took part in a Bollywood dancing workshop, created Rangoli artwork and considered stereotypes vs the reality of life in modern India.

Year 1 have had their first session engaging with the recorders today. They really enjoyed exploring how to make different sounds.

Recently, Year 5 enjoyed a Fabulous World War Two experience day with `Up and At `Em History.` The children came to school dressed as evacuees and spent the morning learning all about the role of the Home Guard, the Billeting Officer and the A R Warden. The children also experienced the sights and sounds of an air raid, how to protect themselves and others, and they also had a go at disposing of incendiary bombs! In the afternoon, using military hats to distinguish the nations involved, the children role-played key battles and decisions made by the various leaders. They also compared the equipment and uniforms that soldiers from Great Britain, USA and Germany had to carry with them. We all had a fully immersed day and gained such a lot of knowledge to begin our history topic this term.
