Eaton House the Manor Girls' School A GSG School

What says..

The atmosphere in the school is extremely warm and friendly: pupils call the teachers by their first names, prefixed by their title – it’s both respectful and familiar and reflects the school’s overall vibe. The school speaks of its focus on oracy through the academic subjects and girls we spoke to were highly adept at contributing to conversations assertively and politely. Homework is often open-ended, one parent says, with opportunities for creative writing from early on. ‘They are encouraged to ask questions…

What the school says...

With 30 scholarships this year alone and a vibrant, buzzy and happy feeling of ‘girl power’, Eaton House The Manor Girls’ School is going from strength to strength. There is a ‘sky is the limit’ approach to learning, backed by the new headmistress, Mrs Claire Fildes, who joins the school from Bute House in September, 2022. She says, ‘I want the girls to achieve their full academic potential while allowing them the space to become confident and kind, ready to take the next steps on their journey as strong, impressive and independent-minded young women.’

Girls leave for a range of schools, such as St Paul’s Girls’ School, JAGS, Alleyns and Wycombe Abbey, after enjoying a relaxed but highly stimulating environment which promotes intellectual curiosity. Their learning journey is action-packed with music, performing arts and sports (cricket on leafy Clapham Common included!).

An excellent network of pastoral care insures each individual child is understood and supported. Mrs Fildes will uphold this, as she is ‘passionate about health and wellbeing.’ Eaton House The Manor Girls’ School is a confident school, now in its prime, producing wonderful girls who will go on to make a difference. ...Read more

Headmistress

Since 2022, Claire Fildes. Studied education at the University of Southampton, came to Eaton House after five years as deputy head at Bute House girls’ prep. Previously, nine years at the all-boys King’s House School where she was director of teaching and learning. A total 25 years in teaching, from reception to year eight, covering co-ed, single-sex and state schools. Joined the school after being impressed by the ‘huge sense of warmth, community and strong sense of family’.

Teaching clearly a vocation, spurred on by childhood experiences: ‘I don’t feel that I was nurtured and I don’t feel that I was happy at school and looked after and encouraged and given the confidence to be myself,’ she says. ‘I was never told “you can be anything you want to be” and...
