• Cundall Manor is warm, character-driven and committed to helping children find and grow their talents. The school is generous, outdoorsy and upbeat.

• A good option for families who want a broad and characterful Yorkshire school whose friendliness does not come at the expense of standards.

The admissions process at Cundall Manor School is broad, well structured and centred on long-term fit across the age range rather than a single one-off entry point. The route in is visit-led and welcoming, yet the school also describes itself as broadly selective, so the tone is friendly without being casual.

Cundall Manor is unusually explicit about scholarships and bursaries, including talent-led awards, so this is a more concrete part of the offer than at many similarly sized schools.

• Families interested in bursary support should ask the school directly how current entry routes and scholarship applications interact with bursary awards.
• The official policy confirms bursary availability, but does not publish a single standard remission range.
• Families should use the school’s current bursary process and provide financial information; awards may be varied if circumstances change.

The school's published messaging is warm and family-facing, but the phrase 'broadly selective' matters and should be taken seriously. Families should test both the tone and the academic expectations on a visit.
