Manor Lodge Misunderstandings
/Lately, I’ve been speaking to a lot of you who are very interested in Manor Lodge. And it leaves me very surprised. If you are so interested in this school, why have you not started preparing your child for it?
You do realise that this 4+ Assessment is in October 2025? Meaning you only have 6 months to prepare for this school.
I’m always very surprised that this is one of the schools that parents are least worried about preparing their child for.
Well, you should be worried.
Manor Lodge is a tough 4+ Assessment to pass for two reasons.
It is a very popular school and hundreds of parents will be sitting their child for their 4+ Assessment here.
Competition will be fierce in terms of the calibre of students that your child will be up against.
I know how hard it is to pass the 4+ Assessment at this school. I’ve spoken to hundreds of parents who have called me to tell me that their child did not pass their 4+ Assessment at this school.
Myself and my team have personally been preparing our youngest students for Manor Lodge for many, many years and we have incredible success year after year.
I hear words thrown around such as 'devastated’, ‘disappointed’ and ‘heart-broken’ when clients tell me that their child did not pass the Manor Lodge Assessment. Yet when I asked them how long they had been preparing their child for the assessment, they tell me that they didn’t or they tell me that their nursery prepared them. A nursery alone cannot prepare a child to pass any 4+ Assessment. Understand this.
If you want your child to pass the Manor Lodge 4+ Assessment, your child does need at least 12 months of Assessment preparation either by yourself or by a teacher who has knowledge of the 4+ Assessment at this school and who has had real and actual results at supporting students to pass their 4+ Assessment at this school.
Our results for Manor Lodge show exactly why your must start with at least 12 months of preparation before sending your child to their Manor Lodge 4+ Assessment.
We prepared 4 students for Manor Lodge (for 2025 entry).
Both students who started with us 12 months before their 4+ Assessment were offered a firm place at Manor Lodge.
One of our students started in September (one month before the Assessment). She did not pass.
The other student did not have consistent and weekly tuition. He also did not pass.
Both of our students who had CONSISTENT weekly tuition passed their Assessment at Manor Lodge.
So many of you do not understand the 4+ Assessment process at Manor Lodge. You don’t understand how fiercely competitive it will be. You don’t understand the sheer volume of parents applying for this school. You don’t understand that if your child is not ready for their 4+ Assessment, they will simply not pass.
