Parents & Professionals
Maximising potential so every child and young person at Ingfield Manor believes, “I can.”
Curriculum
Our curriculum is carefully designed to meet the individual needs and aspirations of all students. It supports children and young people to become active, independent, and empathetic learners, while developing strong communication and physical skills that prepare them for life beyond school.
We’ve been blown away with how you and Ingfield have managed the COVID situation. To say you’ve been amazing would not do you justice!

Discretionary Bursary Fund
The bursary fund is provided by the Government to support young people in 6th Form who face the greatest barriers to continuing in education and to ensure they can participate in learning. The school will provide a financial hardship bursary for students who meet the funding criteria.
The funding for bursaries is limited; students who are eligible for support are not automatically entitled to a discretionary bursary. Therefore, we recommend you return your completed application form as soon as possible. Bursaries will be awarded to help young people pay for the costs associated with being in 6th Form, such as transport.

PE and Sports Premium
The PE and Sports Premium is allocated to primary-aged students to improve the quality of the PE and Sports activities offered. Schools have the freedom to spend the premium, which is additional to the school’s underlying budget, in a way they think will help to support the quality and attainment of the physical development of our students, as well as sporting activities.
The Sports Premium allocation for 2024/25 was £13,000. The PE and Sports Premium Statement sets out how this funding is used to enhance provision for our pupils.
Pupil Premium Strategy
We make every effort to ensure that disadvantaged students receive outstanding support and believe that our core business is to ensure all our students reach their full potential. Our aim is to use our pupil premium funding to help us achieve and sustain positive outcomes for all our disadvantaged pupils. Whilst socio-economic disadvantage is not generally the primary challenge our students face, we recognise that it can have a wider impact.
Our strategy is driven by the needs and strengths of each young person, based on formal and informal assessments, not assumptions or labels. This statement details Ingfield Manor’s use of Pupil Premium Statement to help improve the attainment of our disadvantaged pupils.
The Pupil Premium Strategy Statement outlines how we use this funding to improve outcomes and raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils.
School for Parents has been life-changing for our family. It was such a relief to find experienced, specialist staff who understood and shared our high expectations for our son.
Adverse Weather Guidance
In the event of adverse weather conditions, parents and carers should assume that the school will remain open.
The Senior Leadership Team monitors Met Office forecasts closely and assesses conditions both locally and on site. Any decision regarding school closure will take into account official travel advice from motoring organisations, with safety for children and staff as the highest priority.
