Families are warmly invited to our School at Work Open Morning on Wednesday 18 March at 9.30 am, an event designed to offer a unique insight into the exciting transformation ahead for our Nursery and Prep School.
As we look toward the significant developments planned for September 2026, visitors will have the opportunity to hear directly from Ms Fantham, who will share her vision for a forward‑thinking Prep School shaped around innovation, wellbeing, and enriched learning experiences. Her presentation will outline how the school is evolving to create an environment that goes beyond traditional Primary and Prep settings.
Guests will also be able to tour the current Senior School areas, which are set to become dynamic new Prep spaces. Many of these areas may be unfamiliar to current families, making this a rare chance to see the foundations of the future Prep School before the transformation begins.
In addition, families are invited to visit our award‑winning Nursery and Kindergarten, home to children from the age of two. This exceptional Early Years setting provides a nurturing, curiosity‑driven environment that lays strong foundations for Reception and beyond. With its focus on exploration, creativity, and early skill development, it offers an inspiring start to each child’s learning journey.
Throughout the morning, visitors can meet teachers, observe pupils in their lessons, and enjoy refreshments while gaining a deeper understanding of the school’s educational approach and the enhancements to come. The event aims to provide a clear picture of how the redesigned Prep School will support academic growth, creativity, and wellbeing in equal measure.
With a commitment to creating innovative learning environments that inspire curiosity and confidence, the school is preparing to deliver an experience that sets a new benchmark for Prep education.
Manor House School is an independent school in Bookham, Surrey and is part of The Effingham Schools Trust. It provides a co‑educational Nursery and Early Years provision through to Year 2, after which boys transition to Cranmore School from Year 3. Manor House School offers a girls-only Prep education from Year 3 to Year 6, with girls progressing to St Teresa’s for their Senior schooling from Year 7 onward.
