Joiner Pack

Welcome to our New Joiner or Transitioning Pupil Page.

You will be viewing this page for one of two reasons; either you are a new family joining the School or you are already part of the Manor House School community and your child is transitioning into Nursery, Reception, Year 3 or Year 7. We have designed this page to allow you to easily access all the information and forms you need to complete, to start with us.  Also, look out for a letter in the post enclosing a parent car park sticker and your child’s house badge (except Nursery).

In the meantime, there are 3 steps to go through and we kindly ask you to submit your joiner forms by the end of term preceding your start date.

In addition you’ll find information related to School Uniform and a link and user guide to SOCS for the School calendar and club bookings.

Please email admissions@manorhouseschool.org with any questions.

1. JOINER HANDBOOK

Please read the Joiner Handbook, as applicable to your child’s entry year, to find out everything you need to know about processes and procedures at our School:

CLASSLIST (Parent Social Network):

We endorse Classlist (the school community social app) for parent communication between parents. You will receive an invite to Classlist during the summer holidays. Please look out for this in your inbox. We prefer Classlist as the official communications channel (over and above other platforms such as WhatsApp) as it is GDPR compliant.
