Manor House School

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Manor House website which I hope you will find both interesting and informative. 

Manor House is a Catholic Voluntary Secondary School for girls founded by the Poor Servants of the Mother of God (SMG). It is the ethos and educational philosophy of the SMG that informs the way we do things in our school. Manor House is now under the stewardship of the Le Chéile Schools Trust to whom the SMG have entrusted the legal, financial and inspirational role of trusteeship. No matter what area the SMG work in they aim to respect the dignity and uniqueness of every individual. The school reflects this aim by trying to create an environment that demonstrates a concern for the welfare and good of others. We do our best to provide all our students with an academic programme appropriate to their needs within a caring and supportive environment.

Manor House has a six-year cycle, which includes a compulsory Transition Year. It provides a broad range of traditional academic subjects to Leaving Certificate Higher Level and also offers a comprehensive programme of general education, an excellent pastoral care system in addition to a wide range of extra-curricular and sporting activities. I hope that you enjoy your ‘web’ visit to our school and that by the time you have finished browsing you will have a good idea of the many different facets of school life in Manor House.

Mary O'Neill, Principal

I am happy to inform you that the Board of Management has appointed Deputy Principal Anna Dunwoody to the position.

Dr. Dunwoody has worked tirelessly on behalf of our school since her appointment as Deputy Principal and I believe her vision, energy, work ethic and support of the SMG and Le Cheile ethos makes her an excellent leader for Manor House going forward.

I know that under the joint leadership of both herself and Deputy Principal Lori Fields Manor House School will flourish.

With every good wish

Catherine Cavanagh, Chairperson Board of Management

As you can imagine hosting dinner for 200 people in our school gym was a big undertaking but thanks to the hard work of our staff, students, parents and An Garda Síochána , the Gym was beautifully decorated and set up.  A special thank you to Julia from Love at First Sight (https://www.loveatfirstsight.ie/) who provided all our balloons. They really added to the Christmas atmosphere. On the day our wonderful student musicians and singers entertained our guests along with singer Andy Coogan. All staff, students, parents and An Garda Síochána worked very hard on the day to ensure all our guests were enjoying themselves.
