At Manor Lodge, one of our key aims is to deliver a forward-thinking curriculum that inspires intellectual curiosity, promotes academic excellence, and celebrates individual achievement.
Our curriculum is continually evolving to meet the needs of inquisitive minds and is shaped by key ingredients: collaboration, effective feedback, individuality, self-regulation, and self-expression.
At the heart of this are curiosity, creativity and wonder, which we believe should always sit at the heart of education.
Our Curriculum
At Manor Lodge, we pride ourselves on a bespoke curriculum that combines academic rigour with rich, experiential learning and a spirit of creativity.
Our passionate teachers inspire curiosity, unlock potential, and nurture a genuine love of learning, ensuring every child feels both challenged and supported.
This balanced approach not only creates joyful, memorable experiences but also delivers exceptional outcomes. By the time children reach the Junior Department, their maths and English ability is, on average, two years ahead of their chronological age.
By the end of their Manor Lodge journey, children are, on average, an impressive six years ahead in their reading, fully prepared to embrace the opportunities and challenges of the future.
Learning at Nursery
The Manor Lodge journey begins in our Nursery, a vibrant, nurturing environment where curiosity is ignited, and a lifelong love of learning takes root.
Our brand-new, state-of-the-art facilities provide bright, open spaces enriched with innovative technology, offering the ideal setting for inquisitive young minds to explore, play, and grow.
Thoughtfully designed to mirror Reception and the Main School, the Nursery provides a seamless transition, helping children build confidence and independence from the very start.
Led by highly qualified teachers and enriched with specialist teaching in subjects such as French, Outdoor Learning, Music, and Drama, every child is inspired to flourish academically, socially, and creatively.
These all-important early years are filled with discovery, joy, and possibility.
Joining Reception
The Hive, our new, state-of-the-art Reception building, is a modern, bright and collaborative space, expertly designed with floor to ceiling glass to allow nature’s vibrancy in.
Its clean, simple lines and fluid waves bring calm and equilibrium to a space which allows children to explore and initiate ideas.
This extends into a purpose built multi-sensory play area and Woodland Garden where children’s creativity and curiosity is ignited and where children are allowed to make the most of their childhood.
Years 1 & 2
In Years 1 and 2, children at Manor Lodge build firm foundations in core subjects while developing the confidence, curiosity, and collaborative skills that set them apart.
Our engaging, interactive lessons go far beyond the classroom, blending academic rigour with hands-on, creative experiences that make learning truly memorable.
Every child is encouraged to embrace challenge, think independently, and nurture a growth mindset, preparing them not just for the next stage of their education, but for a lifetime of learning, achievement, and success.
Years 3 to 6
From Years 3 to 6, pupils at Manor Lodge go beyond acquiring knowledge. They deepen their understanding across a broad range of subjects while developing the critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills that will serve them for life.
Our rich, carefully designed curriculum not only stretches and inspires but also builds resilience, independence, and a love of challenge.
By the time they leave Manor Lodge, children are exceptionally well-prepared for the transition to senior school. They are confident, capable, and ready to thrive in the opportunities that lie ahead.
At Manor Lodge, we celebrate each child as an individual, carefully nurturing their progress while providing exceptional pastoral care.
In our supportive and stimulating environment, children are encouraged to explore, take risks, and embrace challenges with confidence and joy.
Here, every child feels valued and inspired, building not only strong academic foundations but also the self-belief, resilience, and love of learning that will stay with them for life.
