Sunbury Manor School is currently taking effective action to address previous weaknesses and remove its special measures designation. Inspectors found that while leadership and safeguarding have significantly strengthened, there remains variability in the quality of teaching and pupils' academic achievement.
Strengths
What inspectors noted positively.
- Safeguarding is now effective with rigorous oversight of pupil welfare.
- The learning environment is more settled and low-level disruption in lessons has decreased.
- Leaders and trustees have an accurate and thorough evaluation of the school's priorities.
Things parents should investigate
Neutral topics you may wish to explore.
