The school opened in 1991 and while the Infant Department is now full the Junior numbers are still growing. We anticipate a final total of 340 children in the school.
There are eighteen full time (and one part time) class teachers, full time teachers for Music and PE, two part time teachers for French and one part time teacher for IT. There are numerous peripatetic teachers for Sport and also Brass, Woodwind and Strings. All staff are fully qualified.
The six acres of ground include woodland, a playing field and a newly completed sports field. The children are offered a wide range of sporting activities including football, hockey, cricket, netball, rounders and lacrosse.
The school consists of a 17th century house for the Juniors and the converted stables offer twelve classrooms for the Infants. The classrooms are bright and well equipped and, as the children are justifiably proud of their achievements, our standard of display is very high.
We aim to provide excellent teaching within an environment characterised by a well balanced but friendly family atmosphere in which high standards of behaviour and good manners are encouraged. We thus ensure that all pupils achieve their full potential and are prepared for entry to senior schools, both independent and grant maintained.
Extra activities available at the school include Short Tennis, Drama, Horseriding and Ju-Jitsu. There are numerous clubs run by the staff at lunch time and after school until 4.15 or 5pm. We offer Sewing, Gardening, Recorder, Football, Rugby, Newspaper, Science, Calligraphy, Cricket, Netball, Table Tennis, Theatre, Athletics, Chess and Choir.
Charitable status. Manor Lodge School is a Registered Charity, number 1048874. The school exists to provide an education which will maximise the potential of the girls and boys aged 4 - 11 in our care.
