Welcome to Manuden Primary School

Manuden Primary School is a place where everyone is welcome and valued; a school which ignites the spark of curiosity, creativity, and individuality. It is through our inspirational teaching and a culture of possibility that the children of Manuden Primary School achieve their full potential. We believe that a ‘growth mindset’ attitude is essential; a belief that hard work and effort leads to success, not just natural talent, or ability!

Our 'Good’ Ofsted Inspection in January 2023 and exceptional academic standards are only part of our story. Through dynamic teaching methods and a highly ambitious curriculum, our children will inherit a lifelong love for learning; building high self-esteem and a strong determination to succeed. The children at Manuden are encouraged to explore, invent, and create. By steering their natural curiosity, we inspire children to be confident, bold, and resilient, needing challenge.

We pride ourselves on how we develop the whole child, and this was reflected in our grading of ‘Outstanding’ for pupil development in our January 2023 Inspection.

‘… trips and the PSHE curriculum, combines to give pupils an exceptional experience. A range of residential trips to promote independence and opportunities for pupils to debate different ideas also help to develop pupils’ character. Leaders ensure that all pupils, regardless of ability or background, benefit from this approach.’

The strong team at Manuden consists of outstanding staff and governors who work tirelessly together using their expertise, enthusiasm, and experience to move our school forward and offer the very best for all. Our dynamic approach and dedication will ensure continuing rewards for Manuden Primary School.  Rigour and accountability will be maintained along with a will for everyone, pupils, and staff alike, to continue to enjoy success.

Please come visit and see our children and school in action.  We look forward to welcoming you and your family in the future.
