Background:

First opened in 1973, Manor became a primary school in 1991. It is located in Ivybridge, 'the fastest growing town in Europe', and is now over-subscribed. It is housed in 'modern' buildings and enjoys views across the Erme Valley and its 'glorious' grounds house a heated swimming pool, butterfly garden and covered play area. Indoor facilities include a hall, music and resources room and library. Pupils are taught independence, as well as respect for the world around them, within a curriculum that 'honours uniqueness'. There is an emphasis on 'active, first-hand learning'. A special needs consultant assists gifted children and children with learning difficulties. The school's 'very close' links with the community involve visitors assisting with school clubs  which include debating, French, soccer, country dancing, guitar, sewing and juggling - and the school choir singing at proms, festivals and conferences. The variety of extra-curricular sporting, musical and artistic activities on offer was rewarded with a certificate of merit from the Education Extra Charity in March 1999. Physical education facilities are 'excellent' and pupils represent the county in several sports. Parents provide the school with 'excellent' support, helping in the classroom or on visits, and there is an 'honest and open liaison' between home and school.
