A Vibrant Approach to Academic Excellence – Eaton House The Manor

Eaton House The Manor has a long upheld and well-respected reputation as an academic powerhouse in south-west London, and this year it has celebrated many generations of academic success at 125 years.

Alongside a first-class approach to education, boys aged two to 13 and girls aged two to 11 enjoy a happy, active learning environment, with inclusivity and diversity at its heart. The latest 2022 ISI Report on the school, which consists of a co-ed nursery and separate boys’ and girls’ pre-prep and prep schools occupying neighbouring buildings on the same site, said: “Pupils of all ages and abilities achieve highly in all areas of the curriculum. This is a notable achievement given that the school does not select pupils on entry in terms of their academic prowess.” The report goes on to say, “The school is a diverse community and one in which pupils delight in each other’s differences and celebrate them,” and both teachers and parents join them in being proud of their kind and supportive community.

An exciting and vibrant co-curricular and extra-curricular programme gives teachers the opportunity to discover their pupils’ talents, so every child has the chance to find their stride, staying true to Principal, Mrs Sarah Seagrave’s, mantra, “No child shall pass unnoticed.” Sport plays a huge part in daily life and teams regularly win in local and regional competitions at every level. There’s plenty of time for fun too! Recently, the playground was turned into a Victorian funfair and at Christmas, snow is blasted from the entrance to create a magical exit for the end of term.

Pupils are encouraged to maximise their potential, and the range of scholarships achieved across academics, music and sport demonstrate this. Scholarships to boys’ schools include Dulwich College, Eton College, Westminster School, St Paul’s School, Tonbridge School, Radley College, Charterhouse School, Harrow School, Whitgift School and King’s College School, Wimbledon.

Girls win places at a number of top schools, including James Allen’s Girls’ School, Woldingham School, Benenden School, Wycombe Abbey, Streatham & Clapham High School, Alleyn’s School, Putney High School, St Mary’s School Ascot, St Paul’s Girls’ School and Cheltenham Ladies’ College. Many attain scholarships with 11 gained in 2023.

It’s not just the children who are winning accolades. The school is a truly green site with eco-friendly building techniques, living walls and roofs, and an exciting education programme in this area. They are recent Gold Winners in the City Kids Green Awards, 2023. Eaton House The Manor Prep was a runner up in the TES Prep School of the Year Award and the group has been nominated seven times in the Independent School Parent awards. With a new Wellbeing Hub being built in the next academic year, this is a school with a rich past and an eye firmly on the future.
