Manor House School prides itself on its close links with the local community.

The school's picturesque grounds make it the obvious home of Ashby Farmers' Market on the third Saturday of every month.

The school is regularly used as a venue for other local events and will be an important location during Ashby Arts Festival in August 2008. As well as housing one of the event's exhibitions, the school will play host to the festival's closing concert on the lawn on Saturday 9 August.

Recently, the school was chosen as the venue for the Ashby History Society's Tudor Day and for a quiz night and auction held by the Friends of Ashby Museum. The school also works closely with St Helen's Church.

The school's pupils are also encouraged to develop a sense of community responsibility that extends beyond the school gates. At Christmas time, children from the school's Pre-Prep classes helped to spread festive cheer by putting on a number of seasonal performances for elderly people in Ashby.

Visitors are always welcome at Manor House School. For anyone wishing to get married in a beautiful setting close to Ashby, the school's immaculate grounds and impressive location, next to Ashby Castle, make it the ideal venue for wedding celebrations.
