Feedback from external reviews

 "Pupils achieve well because of the high expectations teachers have of them"  (Ofsted 2022)

Leaders provide regular opportunities for parents to hear about the school’s curriculum and to hear about how their support can align with the school’s approach. (Herts for Learning consultant June 2024)

“The secondary school heads of English were very impressed by your Year 6 books. They were in awe at the standard of writing and all agreed that they were looking at writing that you would see in years 9 and 10. They commented on how beautifully presented the writing was and how much pride the children clearly have in it. They could see they enjoyed the books they'd studied and enjoyed their writing too.”  (Redbridge English Lead June 2024)

“It’s inspiring to see such a thoughtful and inclusive approach being embraced across the whole learning community”  (LBR Educational Psychologist May 2025)

“The curriculum is guided by a clear vision and high expectations, ensuring inclusivity and equal opportunities for all learners.” (Redbridge School Improvement Partner May 2025)

Manford Primary ensures safety and wellbeing of all pupils through a culture of vigilance, clear policies and consistent practices  (Redbridge School Improvement Partner 2024)
