Tockington Manor

Welcome to Tockington Manor School Tockington Manor School is a very special place, where boys and girls from the age of 2 to 13 are able to flourish in a tranquil countryside setting.  Being a small school with a team of dedicated teachers who are passionate about their craft we are able to spend time discovering the talents of our children, and with outstanding facilities in Science, ICT, Sport and the Arts, there are opportunities for every child to excel.

We are here to support our families and provide flexible wrap around care with extended days including breakfast and supper.

Put simply, we are here to encourage each and every child to be the best they can be in every aspect of their lives. To help them develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime.

I know a number of schools would make this claim, at Tockington Manor School it is true for we really do encourage every child to ‘make the most of every moment’. Of course, we provide an excellent academic education but in the Independent School sector I believe that is the minimum you should expect to receive, and that is why at Tockington Manor School we provide much more. In this incredibly fast paced world I believe that a child needs a breadth of experiences to reach their true potential, ultimately to live a fulfilled and happy life. That is why we take the time to find out what makes each and every Tockington child ‘tick’. For happiness comes first, if a child is not happy they simply cannot learn.

As staff, we know every child individually, we work closely together, we share our thinking and observations, we are flexible and we adapt to children’s needs. We help our children discover their natural talents so that every child can experience the feeling of success, and we encourage them to discover that feeling of success in everything they do by focusing on their ‘personal best’ across the curriculum, to not worry about the scores of the person next to them, but to aim for and celebrate self-improvement.

We are proud to say that our recent assessments in English and Mathematics for Years 1 to 6 showed that all of our classes are working above the national average. Indeed the longer children stay at Tockington Manor School the steeper their rise in progress. Our Year 8 leavers have developed an enviable success rate in delivering 100% entry into their first choice senior schools and achieving a very impressive track record of scholarship awards in Academia, Sport, Music, Drama and Design Technology.
