A BASINGSTOKE junior school has been graded as ‘good’ by Ofsted.

The education watchdog visited Manor Field Junior School, in Haydn Road, Brighton Hill, in November, and in its recently published report said: “This school is good because leaders have ensured that teaching remained of high quality during a period of substantial staff changes.”

The watchdog added: “Pupils currently in the school are working at much higher levels than those in previous years when results were below average.”
