Manor Lodge School
Radlett
At Manor Lodge, learning is the greatest adventure. We are a school for girls and boys aged between 3-11. As experts in primary education, Manor Lodge is a place where every child thrives.
Our results speak for themselves. By Year 6, Manor Lodge pupils are, on average, six years ahead in reading, while more than 90% achieve above-average scores in standardised maths assessments.
Academic excellence is a given, but Manor Lodge is about so much more.
Set within 22 acres of beautiful countryside, our exceptional environment has been thoughtfully designed to nurture learning and wellbeing. Woodland trails, allotments, and a Japanese mindfulness garden sit alongside light-filled classrooms, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor learning.
We passionately believe that every child deserves a magical childhood. Here, children have the freedom to play, explore, imagine and create, developing the confidence, resilience and character that will serve them throughout their lives.
