Manor Lodge School

The admissions process is selective, with the primary entry point being Reception. Prospective pupils are required to attend an assessment day in October of the year preceding entry. This involves a 45-minute group session where staff evaluate candidates on their communication skills, confidence, collaborative abilities, curiosity, and creativity. The school seeks a balance between academic potential and its core values, and outcomes are typically shared with parents within one week. For entry into other year groups, places are subject to availability and similar evaluative assessments to ensure students can meet the school's academic standards.
