ABOUT US

Manor Beach is a County Primary school maintained by the Lancashire Education Authority. There are fourteen classes, two for each age group having an equal mix of boys and girls and reflecting the full range of abilities. The admission number is 60 per year group.

We hope to provide a caring and stimulating environment for your child through a wide range of balanced learning opportunities. We try to create a happy and stable working atmosphere, with good relations between children and teachers, teachers and parents.

• To provide an environment where individual children may realise their true potential; academically, socially, physically and aesthetically.
• To enable all children to acquire knowledge and skills relevant to adult life and employment in a rapidly changing world. We must help the children to develop lively and enquiring minds, to have the ability to question and argue rationally and to apply themselves to tasks and physical skills.
• To help all children know and appreciate their own strengths and weaknesses; to help them experience and recognise success in some area of their school life and to take pride in that achievement.
• Thus we hope to develop an 'educated' individual with character and personality, able to cope with the stresses and strains of life.

The school aims to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum and to develop the full potential of each child. By creating a happy and caring atmosphere the children can learn the skills of Literacy and Numeracy, and through an exciting and stimulating environment be encouraged to investigate, discover and create. The curriculum will be broad and balanced and take heed of recent changes in society and technological advances and is reviewed regularly on an internal and external basis.

The children are taught mainly by one class teacher although occasionally by another member of staff who may be a specialist in a particular subject. The teachers use a variety of teaching approaches to provide the most effective learning situation and to offer the maximum benefit of their expertise.

A wide range of extra-curricular activities are available to the pupils. The majority are limited to children in the junior classes and parents will be informed termly of arrangements.
