Home Visits

Foundation Stage staff meet families prior to children starting school, usually in Reception to gain a full understanding of the whole child. This also gives an opportunity for parents to share valuable information and promote a relaxed entry through familiarity to starting school as well as help build a positive relationship between school and home.

We recognise the following benefits of this:

- Building relationships.
- Linking the child’s learning from home and the setting.
- Assist parents/carers and staff to observe and gain understanding of their child’s skills/interest.
- The gathering of information.
- Smoother transition.

Home visits will take place from new to Manor Park Children from Wednesday 2nd September to Thursday 3rd September 2026

(Please note if you had a home visit in Manor Parks Nursery you will not have a home visit for Reception)

You will receive an email with your allocated date and time for your visit. We request that you please arrange for your child and yourselves to be available for this time slot.

School Uniform

Please click here for the Manor Park School Uniform Information you can also find the relevant links for suppliers to purchase uniform.

Children come to school in Reception only in their PE Kits on a Tuesday
- White polo TShirt
- Black/ Grey joggers in Winter
- Black shorts in the Summer
- Black or white plain strap trainers ( no logos)
- Grey school jumpers

Our policy on school uniform is based on the notion that school uniform:
Please note if coming from out Nursery children will now wear school trousers in Reception not joggers

promotes a sense of pride in the school;
engenders a sense of community and belonging towards the school;
is practical and smart;
identifies the children with the school;
prevents children from coming to school in fashion clothes that could be distracting in class;
makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance;
is regarded as suitable wear for school and good value for money by most parents;
is designed with health and safety in mind

School Meals

Please click here for some information about lunches.

Milk and Snacks

Milk and fruit/vegetables are provided daily for your child. Milk is free for under 5 but you would still need to sign up and register here to say that you would like your child to receive.

Once your child turns 5 you will need to register and pay if you wish for your child to have milk.

Please speak to the school office if your child has any dietary concerns.

Arbor

Arbor is the system that LEO school uses to manage information. Through this we take registers and manage all the information we hold about out students.

How do Parents use Arbor?

Parents and Carers need to use Arbor to book parents evenings, pay for trips and keep their child's information up to date. Click here for more information about Arbor. Details of how to set up your Arbor account will be sent out to you in September.

Attendance

Although we encourage children to attend school every day, we realise that sometimes children are unwell and therefore unable to come to school.

If your child is absent from school due to illness or a same day medical appointment, you must complete the google form below by 10:00am on each day of absence. We may contact you for more information or to ask for medical evidence.
