A Key Part of Our Tockington Manor School And Nursery Family

With a team of dedicated, highly trained staff, Tockington Manor is able to offer an outstanding education provision across the School and Nursery.

Just as the children find it a warm, nurturing place to work, staff quickly come to enjoy it as their work home. Many teachers have children at the school and some staff members live on site.
