We believe that a Manor Lodge child is one that can strike the right balance between academia and our school values. During the session we will be assessing the following areas; communication, confidence, collaboration, curiosity and creativity.
We invite you to bring your child to school in the October of the year before entry. On the day, school is closed to our existing pupils so that we are able to focus on spending quality time with your child.
We hold 45 minute sessions for small groups of children, usually grouped by their current nursery to ensure there are some familiar faces around. Whilst we are busy getting to know your child, you will be offered tea or coffee in our very own Café at the Lodge.
We recognise that children develop at different rates and stages, your child’s age at the time will be taken into account. We will advise you of the results of the assessments within a week.
Please be advised that a place is not guaranteed for siblings. There are four criteria that apply to a sibling place, please see the Admissions policy for further details.
