Friends of Manor Park Summer Fair  - Saturday 21st June - Tomorrow

Volunteers Needed for Our Fantastic Summer Fair! 

The summer term is in full swing, and we're all eagerly anticipating our annual Summer Fair tomorrow, Saturday, June 21st! This much-loved event is always a highlight of our school year, bringing our community together for a day of fun, games, and celebration. More importantly, it's a vital fundraiser for our school, with all proceeds directly benefiting our children through new resources, enriching experiences, and enhancements to their learning environment.

To make the fair a resounding success, we rely heavily on the incredible support of our parents. Running the various exciting stalls – from tombolas to games and refreshments – is a collaborative effort between our dedicated FOMP (Friends of Manor Park Primary) committee, school staff, and, crucially, our parent volunteers. Your time and energy are truly invaluable in ensuring the smooth running of the day and maximizing the funds we can raise for the school.

We understand how busy everyone is, but please know that even an hour of your time can make a significant difference. If you are able to spare some time to help run a stall, assist with setting up, or lend a hand with packing away, we would be incredibly grateful. Your child's class will be setting up, decorating, and championing a specific stall, so please let us know if you would like to support a particular one.

To sign up or if you have any questions, please contact Naz, our wonderful FOMP Chair. You can reach her via email at ptafriendsofmanorpark@gmail.com or by mobile on 07951871481.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support in making this year's Summer Fair a fantastic and fruitful day for our children.

Sutton Community School Uniform Shop

We all know how quickly children grow out of school uniforms and how expensive it can be to buy them.

There is no criteria for our service and anyone with a child who needs a uniform can contact us regardless of income. Please find here attached flyer with more information.

Sports Days Success

What an incredible Sports Day we had at Manor Park Primary Academy! The sun was shining, spirits were high, and our pupils showed amazing athleticism and teamwork. A huge well done to all the children for their fantastic effort and sportsmanship.

The competition was fierce, and every house gave it their all. Here's a breakdown of the house scores for each year group:

Congratulations to Purple House for their outstanding performance in Years 2-5! And a huge cheer to Yellow House for dominating the Year 6 competition!

Thank you to all the parents and carers who came along to support our pupils – your encouragement made the day even more special. We're already looking forward to next year's Sports Day!

The Paul Alan Project 

Our Year 6 pupils participated in a truly vital and empowering workshop led by 'The Paul Alan Project'. This invaluable session, provided free of charge to our school, equipped our students with essential basic life support skills, from understanding cardiac arrest to performing CPR and using a defibrillator – knowledge that could genuinely make a difference in an emergency.

'The Paul Alan Project' is a remarkable charity, and their ability to continue providing these life-saving workshops and essential equipment relies entirely on voluntary contributions. Every donation they receive directly contributes to providing 24/7 accessible defibrillators and bleed control kits in local communities, directly helping to save lives.

We understand that everyone's circumstances are different, but for those who feel moved to contribute to such a crucial cause, 'The Paul Alan Project' would be immensely grateful for any support you might consider. Every little bit truly helps them continue their life-saving mission and bring these vital skills to more individuals. If you would like to donate to the charity, please do so here.

A Week of Sporting triumph and Inspiration!

This week, our school was abuzz with energy and enthusiasm as we celebrated Sports Week across all year groups in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. It was a truly memorable occasion, culminating in an incredibly inspiring circuit training session with the remarkable GB Gymnast, Saffron Severn. Our pupils worked incredibly hard throughout their circuits, demonstrating excellent perseverance and thoroughly enjoying every moment. We extend our sincere gratitude to Saffron for sharing her inspiring story with us! It was wonderful to witness such genuine enjoyment for sport. 

In addition, there are still some fantastic prizes on offer for any sponsorship money raised: a sheet of stickers for any amount, a blue wristband for £5, a signed wristband for £15, and a signed poster for £35. We eagerly anticipate celebrating the achievements of all our pupils who participated so wholeheartedly.
