Downe Manor, where everybody has the opportunity to be inspired to reach their full potential through memorable learning experiences. Downe Manor is a well-established and successful primary school. Visitors and pupils tell us that we are a harmonious school community with good pupil & staff relationships and that we provide good teaching and additional support to all children. We have a dedicated, committed, and talented staff and a broad, exciting, and relevant curriculum that enables Downe Manor to develop and extend the different abilities of all children.
Downe Manor benefits from a new purpose-built school, specialist facilities, and extensive grounds. We endeavor to provide a happy and stimulating environment for all pupils and staff. Children and learning are at the heart of the school. To achieve educational success we set high standards and we keep to them. We believe that successful learning comes through effective teaching, interesting lessons, hard work, effective behavior management, and good attendance.
We are determined to maximize the learning of all our children, increase their sense of self-belief and strengthen their respect for each other. We want children at Downe Manor to enjoy their learning, have fun and learn creatively. We constantly strive to improve ourselves and the outcomes for all of our children. We are ambitious and have very high expectations of children's behavior and their learning.
At Downe Manor Primary School we respect and value all children and are committed to providing a caring, friendly and safe environment for all our pupils so they can learn, in a relaxed and secure atmosphere. We believe every pupil should be able to participate in all school activities in an enjoyable and safe environment and be protected from harm. This is the responsibility of every adult employed by or invited to deliver services at Downe Manor Primary School. We recognize our responsibility to safeguard all who access school and promote the welfare of all our pupils by protecting them from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, neglect, and bullying.
Where deemed appropriate, the school will seek medical advice and guidance on the best procedures to support pupils to enable them to take part as fully and safely as is possible in all school activities.
We expect parents/guardians to advise the school of their child’s specific medical needs. Details will be recorded and held on the school’s computer system. They will be displayed in the medical welfare room and in classrooms out of sight of other pupils, to alert the teacher (and any temporary supply staff) to such needs – this includes asthma and anaphylaxis.
