School should be a positive place for everyone – not only the pupils but the staff too. We provide the right training, management and support to help our valued teaching teams to do what they do best.

Celebrating unique strengths

Each member of our team has a particular set of skills, interests and talents. We encourage these to be utilised for the benefit of our pupils, for example through extracurricular activities and clubs.

A culture of collaboration

Our staff and departments work constructively together to develop and deliver Manadon Vale’s curriculum and to help our school operate as one harmonious whole. This cooperative spirit is essential to our success.

Support and resources

It’s vital that every member of our staff is given the backing they need to perform at their best. We make sure that happens through regular training, supportive management and providing effective teaching resources.

Shared vision and values

Our staff are guided by the Manadon Vale values and our overall vision to take every opportunity to be the best that we can be. These ideas are passed down to our pupils and help bond us all as one positive school community.

What our staff say about Manadon Vale

"Since being at Manadon Vale School, it has inspired me to take up swimming, I try and go for a swim once a week now to help with my physical and mental health!"

Sarah Cavanagh
Pastoral Support Worker

"Please book a visit and see how amazing our school is! As a parent you put so much trust in a school and I am proud to say our children have had the very best start to their educational lives and we will be forever grateful."

Lisa Hayward
Parent Governor

"I chose Manadon Vale because I was looking for a part-time teaching job after having my baby. I soon learnt of its excellent reputation and it became clear that everyone who had any dealings with the school, had such positive things to say."

Julie Butcher
Class Teacher

"The Manadon Vale school has always been so welcoming to me. I am now Vice chair and specialise in Pupil Progress, every term I spend two days in school going through the data to make sure all the students are reaching their full potential."

Lisa Hayward
Parent Governor

"Come and visit the school for yourself, join one of the tours and have a look around. It won’t take you long to realise why it’s such a great place for children to ‘be the best that they can be’."

Tom Lavis
Chair of Governors & Parent

"Every visit to Manadon Vale is inspiring, so much so that I joined the Governing Body 10-yrs ago and now have the pleasure of being their Chair. It’s a great team of passionate people who oversee the running of a great school."
