Mandeville Primary School, which was last inspected 13 years ago, has transitioned from an outstanding grade to a good rating under the current inspection framework. The school is welcoming, with pupils demonstrating confidence, respect, and enthusiasm for learning in a supportive environment. The school places a strong emphasis on reading, and with a new phonics program in place, students generally become proficient readers by the end of Year 2. Concerns exist regarding some subjects where continuity in learning from early years to later years could be improved.
