Manorbrook Primary School is situated in the small (but rapidly growing) town of Thornbury, just north of Bristol. The ongoing growth of the town has meant that in contrast to falling rolls in certain parts of the region, demand for Thornbury primary school places has remained high.
As a result of this growth, and of our popularity in the community, Manorbrook is a growing school.
