Manners maketh man

The phrase ‘manners maketh man’ is often attributed to William Horman (1440–1535), a distinguished Headmaster of both Eton and Winchester.

At Perrott Hill, we carry this principle forward by having staff sit alongside the children at mealtimes—not only to guide and reinforce good table manners, but also to nurture the art of thoughtful conversation.

These are two qualities we regard as essential, shaping character as much as they shape community.
