Head’s Welcome
By cherishing hearts, we give children in our Manor family the confidence to take risks and embrace opportunity, inspired by the world around them and ready for challenge, developing a lifelong love of learning. Crucially, and quite uniquely, this is all within a grounded, down-to-earth community that benefits from all the very many advantages of an independent education without any of the trappings of perceived elitism or sense of entitlement.
This is a community that embraces difference and celebrates diversity, a rich and elaborate tapestry of life. This is all wrapped in a great deal of fun, helping the children in our care make memories to last a lifetime with the confidence and space to be their best. Whilst the storms of the independent sector circle us, we take great pride in navigating the choppy waters of VAT, increased National Insurance contributions and other staff pay costs, loss of Business Rates Relief and a declining birth rate astutely with great consideration, proactivity and confidence. Despite these challenges, we are thriving. Fortunate to have the most remarkable passion and calibre of our staff, support and commitment of our parent community, and prudent business management and strategic vision of our executive and governors, we have the people needed to succeed.
Most importantly, though, we have a wonderful community of children, inspiring us every day to do our very best for them, giving them the foundation to do great things in the future.
Inspire…
At The Manor we offer a huge range of opportunities, encouraging all of our children to adopt a ‘have a go’ attitude and to embrace different lessons and activities with an open mind, knowing that they may find a new talent or passion. We see, every day, how our dynamic learning environment inspires the children, sparking their curiosity and helping them to develop confidence in who they are.
By the time the children leave us at 11, ready to move on to a broad number of senior schools, we are entirely confident that they are ready for this next step and that we have given them the best possible start. Do come and visit us so you can feel for yourself the remarkably magical yet grounded place The Manor is.
