Overview

About Jeannine Manuel School

Jeannine Manuel School is a co-educational bilingual, international and independent private day school registered as a British Charity. The school welcomes non French-speaking students at all levels and beginners in English up to Year 7. It aims to admit students who will benefit from an enriched, bilingual curriculum. The school offers education from Nursery (age 3) through Sixth Form (age 18) with a bilingual and international curriculum including the French International Baccalaureate and the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school in Camden for ages 3–18. Selective entry, top-tier London fees.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
  • Families comfortable with top-tier London independent fees in exchange for the level of provision.
  • Internationally-mobile families wanting IB or American-style qualifications rather than only A-levels.
Watch-outs
  • Fees sit at the top of the London market. Factor in extras (uniform, trips, lunches, music tuition) before committing.
  • Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
  • SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.
  • Curriculum is IB/American-style rather than A-Level. Check that your university plans (UK or otherwise) align before committing to the route.
