Manorside and Tudor Primary Schools have a long history in the heart of Finchley, with Manorside having been established in 1906 and Tudor in 1952. As small schools only 200m apart, the schools collaborated formally and informally for many years before being federated in 2016.
Formally the two are separate schools, with their own admissions, DfE registration, and Ofsted inspections. However, we share one Governing Body and one Executive Headteacher. Being in a federation gives each school the best of both worlds, with the benefits of both a one-form entry school alongside those of bigger schools.
Each school has the close-knit community of a small school, where all children and adults get to know each other well and staff can invest in every single child. Meanwhile, being in a federation gives staff capacity to work together at all levels including strategic leadership, teachers planning together, and shared training.
