Our Preparatory School is made up of our Reception Class and Years 1 to 6. We are a selective school and therefore places are offered at the discretion of the Headteacher and following satisfactory completion of a taster and assessment day (or observation session in the case of Reception applications). As a guideline, applicants should be performing academically at nationally expected levels.
We welcome applications mid-year for all year groups, subject to the availability of places.
Contact admissions@manorhouseschool.org or call us on 01372 457077 for more information and to make an enquiry.
Our Reception Discovery Afternoon is held in November prior to the September entry. Please enquire directly with admissions regarding a later application.
Our entrance examinations morning for Year 3 applications is held in early January prior to the September entry. These examinations are comprised of English and Mathematics assessments and a short interview. We accept late or mid-year applications subject to availability of places.
For Years 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6, you will be asked to visit the School, meet with our Headteacher and then your daughter will be invited to a taster and assessment day. Age-appropriate assessments are undertaken in reading, writing and mathematics by the Head of the Prep School during this day and consideration is given to a girl’s social integration and emotional development. A final offer is then made, subject to the outcome of this day.
In summary:
The Prep School registration fee is £50 for Reception and £75 thereafter. The deposit payable on acceptance of a Prep School place is £500 for Reception Class and £800 thereafter (this is refundable less any outstanding fees/disbursements at the end of your daughter’s education at Manor House School).
