Head's Welcome The warmest of welcomes to The Manor Prep, our very special corner of Oxfordshire where boys and girls aged 2-11 experience the most magical childhood. I regularly have to pinch myself to check that I really am part of such a wonderful community where every individual puts our aims of Challenge, Cherish and Inspire at the very heart of what they do.
We strive to help every child reach and exceed their potential; academic rigour going hand in hand with opportunities to experiment with wide and varied activities both in and out of the classroom.
The Manor is the perfect environment for children to flourish in, making excellent academic progress whilst also developing their wider abilities as learners and refining the personal qualities needed for the ever-changing world of tomorrow.
Surrounded by amazing facilities and guided by talented staff who know each individual really well, children feel able to take risks and challenge themselves, indulging in their curiosity and building resilience as they go.
