A Welcome from the Head

Head Mistress

We hope our website will provide you with a brief introduction to our happy, thriving community. Click on the relevant toolbar heading and you'll be taken to information about the different parts of our school and the many aspects that led The Good Schools Guide 2007 to conclude that Manor House is "a small, friendly school which offers a traditional and caring environment". To find out a little more about the school, either click here or on the Admissions button above. You can then either call or email us to ask for a prospectus - and to ask any questions you may have.

 

Our examination results speak for themselves. 'Value added' as measured by the University of Durham system shows that girls at Manor House achieve between 1 and 2½ GCSE grades higher than predicted - in every single subject. These excellent results are a product of our dedicated, enthusiastic and experienced teachers and of a close co-operation between school and home.

 

We pride ourselves on nurturing each girl's individual talents whether they be academic, sporting or creative and our learning strategies will encourage girls to make progress in all these areas. We want our girls to acquire a lifelong love of learning; a confidence in their own abilities and a sense of responsibility towards others as well as realising their full potential at GCSE.

 

I hope your visit to this site will encourage you to come and see us and meet the girls and staff who make Manor House such a special place.

MOON WALKING FOR CHARITY

No, they are not a new school uniform but the winning designs worn by 3 members of staff when they took part in Saturday’s annual 26 mile overnight Moon Walk, to raise money for breast cancer research. Teachers Gill Gibson, Veronika Robinson and Kay Tercan have been in training for the event for several months. Planning for the event started early with a competition for the girls at Manor House to design the bras that they would be wearing. The winning designs were then created by Mrs Paris who works in the Prep Department and her daughter, Charlotte, an ex pupil of the school who has a degree in Contour Fashion from De Montfort University, Leicester. Girls, parents and staff sponsored the walkers and £1,000 has been raised for breast cancer research.
