The Danesfield Manor School is a co-educational, non-selective independent primary school, providing education for girls and boys between the ages of 3–11. It opened in 1943. CfBT Education Trust took ownership of the school in 2006. There are 145 pupils on roll, which includes 11 part-time children who attend the nursery class. There are no pupils with a statement of special educational needs. The school is situated in a large Victorian house in a residential street in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey. The school has an on-site swimming pool and recently refurbished outdoor play area. Since the previous inspection, four new classrooms have been built in the grounds of the school. The school received a light touch inspection in November 2010. It received a progress monitoring inspection in 2012. The school provides before- and after-school care for pupils from 4–11 years of age. There is an Early Years Centre on-site which operates from a room within the school building. This provision was inspected separately in March 2013. The school aim is for all children to be motivated, enquiring and enthusiastic to learn and achieve. Its motto, ‘non progredi est regredi’, means ‘not to go forward is to go backwards’.
