Stafford Manor High School has been identified as requiring significant improvement according to the latest Ofsted inspection. While safeguarding measures are robust and the school fosters a positive culture, there remain considerable challenges in academic achievement. Leaders have initiated steps to improve attendance, particularly for specific pupil groups, and positive behaviour is evident, but issues with low-level disruption and underachievement persist across subjects, particularly affecting disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs.
