Manor House School, Bookham

Manor House School, Bookham has a happy, nurturing Prep School and thriving Senior School, delivering excellent academic results alongside an extensive co-curricular programme.

We are located in the village of Bookham, near Leatherhead in Surrey, amidst seventeen acres of beautiful gardens and sports fields. We are a smaller, nurturing school that consistently delivers great academic results alongside an extensive co-curricular programme. Our aim is to provide a happy and caring school environment that inspires a confidence to try new things and which brings out the personal and academic best in each and every student.

As a day school we are open from 7.45am and finish at 6.00pm. Many of our pupils travel from the local villages of Ashtead, Bookham, Cobham, Dorking, Effingham, Fetcham, East and West Horsley and nearby Surrey Hills villages. However, we have many girls who travel on our minibus routes from Esher, Kingston, Merrow, Surbiton and Wimbledon.

Manor House School, Bookham is a through school. This means that girls can join us as early as Nursery School aged 2, and then join our Prep School at age 4-11 years old. From there, most girls move into our Senior School at age 11+. Our Senior School finishes at Year 11, when students leave at age 16 to take up places at their future sixth forms. However, pupils may join us at any entry year, subject to the availability of school places.
