Learning, Excellence and Opportunity

Manor Park Primary Academy School has a duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. This responsibility necessitates a child protection policy and procedures which are available to view on the website, or a copy can be requested from the School Office.

Navigating Our Busy Drop-Off and Pick-Up Times 

We want to thank all our families for helping make drop-off and pick-up times run smoothly. We know our school playground gets very busy during these periods.

To ensure everyone's safety and well-being, especially our pupils, please keep the following in mind:

• Be extra mindful when walking around the school site.

• Take your time and be aware of your surroundings.

• Watch out for smaller children as the playground can get crowded.

Your cooperation helps us maintain a safe and orderly environment for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and continued support!

Parking Safely Around the School Entrances

• Parking is strictly prohibited outside the school gates.

• Our children's safety is at risk by anyone who stops on the zigzag lines or on the corner of Warwick and Greyhound Road.

• Furthermore, we ask that you do not park in residents' bays or park across driveways. These are clearly marked and reserved for local residents. 

• Helps us keep our school surroundings clean and tidy by not littering.

• Finally, we kindly request that you do not leave your engine running while waiting. 

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Social Media Guidelines

Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter etc. should not be used for any school related comments and the complaints and concerns procedures should be followed. If you wish to share, confidentially, parents who are using sites inappropriately, please let us know and we a will be happy to speak to them. All contact between staff and parents should be conducted with politeness whether this is in meetings or on social media. The following guidelines should be followed:

• Parents should use social networking sites or messaging groups sites only as a forum to support one another and uphold the strong reputation of the school.

• Parents should not post pictures of pupils, other than their own children, on social networking sites.

• Parents should not post inappropriate comments about the school and its staff, parents or individual children on social networking sites or messaging groups.

• Parents should share complaints or concerns through official school channels rather than posting them on social networking sites or messaging groups.

Many thanks for your continued support.

School Trips and Workshops Reminders

• We still have a number of overdue payments for past trips and workshops for this academic year. Please may we request that payments be made as soon as possible via Arbor or cash, in a named envelope, to the school office.

• If you are having any difficulties making the payments, please contact the school office to discuss this further.  Thank you so much for your support.

Year 1 Explorers and Artists at Morden Hall Park

• Year 1 pupils embarked on an engaging trip to Morden Hall Park, where they transformed into plant detectives, exploring and observing local gardens.

• Armed with magnifiers, pupils identified various plants, trees, and flowers, showing their knowledge and understanding of botany.

• Using viewfinders, pupils identified different plant species and carefully created observational drawings of their chosen plant.

• Following their park adventure, Year 1 pupils used their crafting skills to create transient artwork using natural resources.

• Many creative ideas were brought to life through thoughtful layering, resulting in diverse and imaginative pieces.

Year 2 Week of Sporting Growth and Achievement

• This week, our Year 2 pupils participated in two enriching and engaging sporting events.

• Throughout the week, Year 2 took part in the "Listen, Let's Grow" workshop.

• During the workshop, pupils explored the importance of active listening and practised mindfulness techniques.

• They also  demonstrated excellent listening skills and teamwork by making shapes and mirroring their partners.

• Several Year 2 pupils also attended the LEO Sports Multi-Skills festival, where they engaged in a variety of sports stations.

• These valuable workshops provided pupils with key skills in both physical activity and interpersonal development.

Year 6 Continue to Shine in Their Learning!

• Year 6 pupils thoroughly explored Darwin's theory of evolution, including natural selection and survival of the fittest.

• They enjoyed the exploration of Darwin's theory which led to our pupils producing a fantastically detailed scientific report.

• Earlier this week, the Year 6 pupils participated in the Game Changer workshop, where they focused on educating pupils about child exploitation.

• Through engaging activities and powerful discussions, Year 6 pupils gained confidence in identifying and responding to risks.

• We would also like to congratulate Mia, from Sapphire class, who was awarded Gymnast of the Month. Mia successfully achieved her 10-meter swimming certificate. Well done!
