Kenyngton Manor Primary School

Kenyngton Manor Primary School is a large primary within The Howard Partnership Trust, serving a community with above-average free school meals, SEN support and location deprivation. Safeguarding standards are met. Inspectors found a school that has improved rapidly and is performing securely overall: inclusion, leadership and governance, and personal development and well-being are strong, while achievement, attendance and behaviour, curriculum and teaching, and early years are at the expected standard. Leaders are decisive in identifying and removing barriers for pupils, especially those with SEND, disadvantaged pupils or social care involvement, and families are closely involved. Reading is a strength, phonics and multiplication tables outcomes are above national averages, and key stage 2 outcomes rose significantly in 2025 to be in line with national averages. Attendance has risen and is now above the national average, behaviour is calm and respectful, and pupils benefit from a well-planned personal development programme, clubs and memorable experiences. The main areas for further work are consistency in teaching, especially checking pupils' learning and deepening understanding, and embedding opportunities to write across the curriculum alongside more handwriting practice. Early years adult-led activities do not always engage all children who would benefit, and disadvantaged pupils attend less often than their peers, though still above the national average for that group. Disadvantaged pupils' outcomes have improved but remain below non-disadvantaged national figures over the latest three-year period.
