Manor Lodge is the school parents least prepare their children for at 4+.
/The Manor Lodge 4+ Assessment is typically in mid October the year before your child’s year of entry into Reception.
So if you are preparing for the Manor Lodge Assessment (2027 entry), you have only 8 months left until the 4+ Assessment at this school.
8 months are not really 8 months! You need to take into account sickness and holidays. You will get sick, your child will get sick and your teacher will get sick (we are not robots!). You will take holidays and your teacher will take holidays. You will inevitably take some time off - as will your teacher! So those 8 months really turn into 6 months if you reflect carefully about it.
Let me get something crystal clear. 6 months is not enough time to prepare for Manor Lodge.
At ‘only’ £17,310 per year (not including additional charges) , ML is one of the more ‘affordable’ schools that my clients prepare for. It is so over subscribed at 4+.
If you actually truly want your child to be offered a place at ML, prepare them thoroughly for it.
I do think you are starting too late if you are starting now. But starting late is better than not starting at all!
