The Four Cs Academy Trust

"Pupils enjoy attending Manor Drive Primary Academy. They are happy and feel safe. The school places a high value on everyone being included. The school’s values, work hard, be kind and be brave are clear in every aspect of school life." (Source: Ofsted 2025)
At Manor Drive Primary Academy, we aim to provide a positive environment that celebrates the whole child. Our curriculum is broad and balanced, research based, and places a high degree of importance on all areas of learning to allow every child to succeed. We strive for the highest-quality of teaching and value interpersonal relationships between staff and children within an environment that is safe, respectful and child-centred. We believe the educational journey every child embarks on should be filled with engaging first-hand experiences, knowledge and language-rich classrooms, excellent resources and a focus on achieving the highest levels of social, emotional and academic development. We are a school that values our families and wider community as we work together to ensure our children develop key life skills and instil our values of working hard, being kind and being brave.
"The provision for pupils with special educational needs and / or disabilities (SEND) is a strength. The school has high aspirations for pupils with SEND. In the early years, children focus fully on the task at hand. They demonstrate admirable resilience when they find tasks more difficult." (Source: Ofsted 2025)

"Governors and the Trustees are ambitious for this new school to be a leading light of learning in the community." (Source: Ofsted 2025)
Our Nursery for three and four year olds is an integral part of Manor Drive Primary Academy. The Nursery is housed in a purpose-built part of the academy with its own outdoor area.
Our Nursery children are nurtured and cared for by our team of dedicated nursery staff, whilst being given high-quality educational opportunities to explore and develop. We have a balance of child-led learning and adult-led activities in our bespoke Nursery Curriculum.

We believe in developing the 'whole child' with a focus on social and emotional skills as well as encouraging children's independence and helping them to progress academically.
We accept government funding for 15 hours childcare and also 30 hours of childcare for eligible children. The following website contains information about who is eligible for 30 hours of funding.
