At Manor Farm Community Junior School, we believe our children deserve an excellent education which inspires and motivates their learning. We ensure our curriculum is high quality and broad, whilst also making sure that each child progresses from their individual starting point.
We believe in not only developing our pupils’ academic outcomes, but also the importance of seeing them grow socially and emotionally. Our desire is for our pupils to leave here as caring, responsible, and mature individuals, ready for their next stage of education.
To provide an exciting curriculum that engages and enables pupils to write and communicate clearly, effectively and with confidence.
Across the school all pupils are encouraged to read fluently and develop a love of reading for pleasure. This enables them to access other areas of learning.

Talk for Writing is used to enable pupils to read and write independently for a variety of audiences and purposes within different subjects.
