Manor House School in Slinfold serves a specialist cohort, so admissions are better understood as a process of careful matching than of mainstream competition. Families are likely to focus on whether the school's personalised curriculum and SEMH expertise fit the child, with direct discussion about needs and support taking precedence over conventional selection.

This is not a scholarship-led setting and the usual awards language is not the relevant measure of value. What matters here is the quality of specialist teaching, therapeutic support, safeguarding and whether the school can give a young person a realistic platform for progress and stability.

• Families should confirm the relevant point of entry directly with admissions.
• A means-tested bursary route is published, but no standard remission cap is published.
• Families should follow the school’s bursary process and expect a means-tested assessment.
