Tockington Manor School Open Day – Friday 9 May 2025
See our very special School and Nursery community in action
Tockington Manor School Open Days are more than just an opportunity to visit and see our school. We are about so much more than what you see – it is what you feel the minute you walk through our Manor House front door which will convince you we are the right choice for your child.
From the specialist, nurturing teachers to our polite, happy pupils, a few hours with us will give you a taste of our Tockington magic – described by one of our teachers as ‘an invisible embrace’. Along with our pupils, we have a secure, confident future and we invite you to come and grow with us!

What Happens on a Tockington Manor School Open Day?
At Tockington, we do things a little differently – especially when it comes to Open Days. Like the education we provide, it is focused on the individual and you will have a dedicated one-hour slot to take a tour of our School and Nursery with one of our Year 7 or 8 pupils. Our Open Days will give you a true feeling of what happens here on a daily basis – from learning in classrooms to hands-on discovery outdoors, games and music lessons to ICT demonstrations and Drama practice, you will get a good understanding of what we offer. You will also have the opportunity to chat one-to-one with our Headmaster, Stephen Symonds, about your child and how we could be the best choice for your family’s education needs.
We look forward to welcoming you!

Why Choose Tockington Manor School?
At Tockington, we believe that academic success is just one part of the picture. While our students’ achievements speak volumes, we understand that true success comes from nurturing both the mind and the well-being of every child.
Happy and confident children thrive, which is why we place well-being and pastoral care at the core of everything we do. Every child is valued and through our supportive environment and high academic standards, we inspire them to be the very best they can be.
Don’t just take our word for it
“We are delighted by the calibre of Tockington Manor candidates – both scholarship and entry. They demonstrate characteristics which match our ethos, showing well rounded, engaged, charismatic young people who have a thirst for knowledge and an eagerness to embrace all that is offered to them.”

Year 1 Parent
“It’s the intangible embrace from the whole TMS community that makes every pupil matter, no matter what. The teachers here are amazing – they support the pupils, encourage each one and help them to find their own mojo – an inner confidence that sets them up for life.”
