Manor Wood is an inclusive and welcoming school. It knows each pupil as an individual and prioritises their well-being. Pupils are polite and courteous. They are proud of their school and describe it, rightly, as a ‘fair and kind community’. Pupils realise the school’s values of peer generosity, team comes first and everyone is a learner through their positive attitudes to their work and respectful relationships with one another. Pupils feel happy and safe. Pupils are taught how to manage their emotions and to recognise when they need support. They describe bullying as rare. When it does happen, pupils know that staff help them to sort out problems by taking time to listen to them. For example, time is set aside each day for pupils to share feelings and emotions. Classrooms are calm and purposeful places for pupils to learn. Pupils work collaboratively, taking turns, sharing resources and enjoying the learning journey together. The school is highly ambitious for all pupils and determined that they will achieve well. The work pupils complete and the knowledge they gain over their time at the school demonstrates that these ambitions are fulfilled. At Manor Wood, every child does matter and every moment is made to count.
