Welcome Message

On behalf of the governors, staff and pupils, we are delighted to introduce you to our school and this website aims to provide you with some insight into learning at Manor Fields. 

We are committed to ensuring that every child is safe, healthy and happy and that they will have the confidence, skills and opportunities to contribute and achieve. Every child deserves the best possible start to their education and we foster an enthusiasm for learning that aims to provide a solid foundation for the rest of each child’s school career and beyond.

At Manor Fields, our strength is the skilled and dedicated team of professionals and volunteers who serve our school and its community. We aim to challenge and inspire through excellent provision in a superb learning environment.

Through our ‘open door’ policy, we make ourselves accessible to provide support and guidance. We believe that working in partnership with families is one of the most important determinants of the success of any child. Therefore, we strive to bring the two worlds of home and school together to form one whole learning experience with your child at the centre.

We are always delighted to receive visitors, so do take the time to come and see us.  Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make and we are keen to share the high quality of learning opportunities that characterise our school.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Manor Fields Primary School.

Last Monday’s Armistice Assembly was so moving. Our Kestrels did a wonderful job of sharing the reason for, and the poetry of, this important event and the whole school could not have been more respectful.  Elly, a visiting Street Dance teacher, really enjoyed her session with Year 4 on Tuesday and she said: 'They were amazing! Very well behaved and listened extremely well! It was a pleasure to teach such a wonderful class!’. On Friday, Year 3 and Year 4 performed at the Cathedral whilst the rest of the school paid a spotty tribute to Children in Need.

Next week will be as productive and positive as ever. In addition to the usual learning and joy, there will be  a day of tennis on Monday (thanks to Mr. Cooke), ‘Look @ Learning’ on Wednesday and on Friday, our week will end with a DFE Reading Audit.  Such a busy school….

 Wiltshire Affordable Schools'  Strategy.

The principles of 'affordable schooling' are as follows and at Manor Fields, we strive to adhere to this roadmap to inclusivity:

• Cost of living can affect us all. We may all experience life changing events at some point in our lives 
• Schools are at the centre of communities - they can make a difference
• Every day in every interaction, however small, there may be an opportunity to bring about positive change  for children
• Diversity is the one thing we all have in common: we are better together than we are by ourselves.

At Manor Fields, we understand that the cost of supporting children through school can put pressure on household budgets so please follow this link for handy support and advice - click here

 The Salisbury Area Board has produced the attached leaflet in partnership with the city council, agencies and organisations in Salisbury to help with the cost of living crisis. - click here

Wiltshire’s Wellbeing Hub providing support to those who need it

The Wiltshire Wellbeing Hub is available to anyone who is struggling during this difficult time – and will now be available on Saturdays.

The hub can help and provide support to those who perhaps don’t have a network around them, and also signpost them to where additional help is available in their local area. Hundreds of community groups, run by volunteers, are still set up across the county, providing invaluable assistance to those who need it.
