Admissions

Dear Parent or Guardian

A very warm welcome to the School admissions section of our website. Thank you for your interest in our wonderful Independent School in Bookham, Surrey.

If you are enquiring about a Nursery, or Prep School for mid-year entry, in the future, or at the start of the academic year, you are in the right place.

TESTIMONIALS

Here are a few testimonials received from families that have visited the School, attended Open Day Events, or had Taster Day’s:

'Just wanted to say thank you ever so much for giving up so much time to take us around the school this afternoon. We were both very impressed and I can see why Manor House has such a great reputation, as it is an incredibly warm and welcoming school.’

Prospective Family

'Please do give the staff a big thank you for yesterday, the girls had the best time. They both chatted non stop in the car to me and had a lovely, positive experience, which was a big relief.’ And compliments to the chef because they said lunch was the best meal they’ve ever had at school!'

Taster Day Family

'My partner and I have just had a fabulous walk around your beautiful nursery setting - the team and rooms are just wonderful!'

Prospective Nursery Family

OPEN MORNINGS AND EXPERIENCE DAYS

We hold two School Open Mornings every year which also accommodate the Nursery or Kindergarten as well as the Prep School; in the Autumn term in October and in the Spring term in March.

You can sign up to any of these events on our Visit Us page.

We host Experience Day’s for Reception and Year 3 in the Autumn Term (for entry the following September). This is free to attend. Please register via the Visit Us page.

Following your initial visit, we ask you to progress your application in accordance with our admissions process.

NURSERY ADMISSIONS

Nursery applications follow a different process to the Prep Schools and please contact our admissions team directly for a Nursery enquiry. Click here for information about Nursery admissions and here for more information about the Nursery & Kindergarten.

PREP SCHOOL ADMISSIONS

For admissions to the Prep School, this involves access to your child’s latest school report, a meeting with our Headteacher or Head of Prep, an age-appropriate online digital assessment and a confidential reference from your child’s current school. This process may vary in that we offer Experience Days for Year 3 entry, and Discovery Afternoons for Reception Class. For applications for Year 3 we may also conduct interviews. You can find out more about our admissions process for the Prep School here.

Jane Baynes and our Admissions team are your disposal to talk you through the process for your year group and point of entry, on 01372 457077 or via email: admissions@manorhouseschool.org
