Manor House School
School summary
With just 284 pupils and roughly eight children to every teacher, Manor House School offers the kind of close attention that a small setting makes possible. This mixed independent school in Leatherhead, Surrey has been educating pupils since 1920 and takes children from age 11 through to GCSE. A notably high proportion of the roll – around a third – receives some form of SEN support, suggesting a school comfortable with meeting a range of learning needs. It is led by headteacher Ms Tracey Fantham and inspected by the ISI.

Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSE qualifications in an environment where the low pupil-to-teacher ratio allows teaching to be tailored closely to individuals. With more than a third of pupils on SEN support, the school appears geared towards understanding how different children learn rather than treating everyone the same. Entry is at age 11 via an 11+ process.

That’s where Passmate comes in. Tutoring is the most effective thing in a child’s preparation - a well-tutored child can outperform the vast majority of their peers. Passmate works alongside your tutor, not instead of them: it learns how your child thinks, finds the gaps, and shows the tutor exactly where to spend each session - so the limited time you have lands on what actually decides a place.
Works alongside your child’s tutor - not instead of them.
