We believe that children at Ashley Manor Preparatory School experience the best possible start to their school career.

We offer a unique experience not only in terms of education but also in terms of location. One of our greatest assets is our idyllic, rural location with the school located in 42 acres of stunning parkland. Our children benefit from the sheer variety of exciting outdoor areas as well as a chance to connect with the natural world. Outdoor learning is at the core of our curriculum, as we believe that it is one of the most important companions in children’s growth and development. In addition, we have an on-site farm where children can visit and help look after the animals.

Each and every member of our staff encourages every child to achieve their full potential within the school’s broad curriculum. We provide a solid academic base with preparation for both local grammar schools and scholarship places at independent schools. A wide variety of subjects are offered from Latin to Bushcraft, along with a wide extra-curricular provision. Our aim for all our pupils is that they leave us well-prepared for a bright future ahead and already making positive contributions to society.

I look forward to welcoming you for a visit to our school, so that you can see first-hand how pupils flourish, are valued as individuals and are happy, ambitious and confident.
