Campus
Jeannine Manuel School is nestled across three neighbouring sites in Bloomsbury, central London, each just minutes apart, together forming a single, vibrant campus. Here, the elegance of historic London architecture meets the spirit of a bilingual education that looks to the future. Behind every period façade, thoughtfully renovated spaces support the way students learn today, from dynamic science labs, collaborative classroom spaces and even our very own on-campus climbing wall!
Three Sites, One School Community
Our school is spread across three closely situated buildings in Bloomsbury - each just minutes apart from one another, and all within walking distance of the British Museum - forming a single, cohesive campus. Together, these spaces offer students an environment that supports every stage of their educational journey, from early years through to sixth form.
Across all sites, classrooms are designed with flexibility and collaboration in mind. In addition to their beautiful classrooms, pupils benefit from access to:
- fully equipped science and technology labs
- dedicated music, drama and art spaces
- libraries in both French and English
- PE spaces, including our dance & yoga studio as well as our climbing wall
- outdoor recreational areas

Stories Behind Walls
Several of our school buildings carry fascinating histories. Former residents and visitors include Prime Minister Lord Asquith and poet T.S. Eliot. Others have ties to Bloomsbury’s literary and artistic circles. These connections remain visible today, from original fireplaces to carefully restored staircases. Scroll through the gallery below to discover some of the hidden stories behind the spaces our students learn in every day.
