Manor Park Primary Academy

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. Our designated Child Protection Officers are Ms. Thomas and Ms. Laing. Information may need to be shared with other agencies when there are concerns about a child’s welfare. Manor Park Primary Academy is committed to gender, racial, religion and disability equality in every part of school life. 

Manor Park Primary and LEO Academy Trust are now on all social media platforms. Find us on Twitter/X, Facebok and Instagram through the details below:

Cancellation of After-School Clubs  

Please be advised that all after-school clubs and Booster Clubs for Year 6 on Tuesday 9th December are cancelled due to the Carol Concert taking place after school. 

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We understand the importance of these clubs for our students and appreciate your understanding.

Our regular after-school clubs will resume on Wednesday, 10th December.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Carol Concert

This year's flood-lit carol concert will once again be held on the netball court and starts promptly at 4.45 pm on Tuesday 9th December. Year 3 and Year 5 children and the Choir Club children will remain after school on that day for a rehearsal. Parents and carers are welcome from 4.15 pm and hot chocolate will be served courtesy of FOMP.

Siblings are also welcome. We anticipate that the concert will finish at around 5.30pm. 

All Clubs and Booster Classes will be cancelled for this afternoon.

Christmas Dinner - Wednesday 10th December

Christmas Dinner will take place on Wednesday 10th December. 

No payment is required for this lunch for children in Reception to Year 6. 

You will need to provide your child/children with a packed lunch from home if you did not order a Christmas Lunch, as we are unable to increase numbers.

All the children, including those who are having a packed lunch, will receive a Christmas cracker. 

A big thank you to F.O.M.P for supplying them again this year.

Updated School Food Policy for Allergy Safety 

To ensure the safety and well-being of all pupils, particularly those with severe allergies and at risk of anaphylaxis, we have updated our school's Food Policy based on government and allergy guidance.

Your cooperation is vital. Please adhere strictly to the following rules for all food brought into the school:

• No Nuts or Nut Products: This is a complete ban on all nuts, including peanuts, tree nuts (almonds, cashews, etc.), all nut butters (like peanut or almond butter), and chocolate spreads or snacks containing nuts (e.g., Nutella, nut-containing cakes/biscuits).

• No Sesame or Visible Seeds: Please do not send food items containing sesame seeds or any products with visible seeds in packed lunches, as sesame is a major allergen.

• No Pesto of Any Kind: Pesto (including basil or tomato varieties) is not permitted. This is because many commercial pestos carry a "May Contain Traces of Nuts" warning due to manufacturing processes.

We appreciate that checking labels takes extra effort, but this policy is essential to protect all the children in our care.

Early Closure on Last Day of Term

As we approach December, we wish to inform you of some adjustments to the last day of term. On the 19th December 2025, our school office will close at 3.30pm. Thank you for your support. 

Wrap Around Care will close as normal at by 6:00 PM, please ensure that your child is collected on time as the school will close promptly at that time. If you anticipate any difficulties in collecting your child by 6:00 PM, we kindly ask that you make alternative arrangements for someone to pick them up and notify our club manager, Mrs Watson, of these arrangements via email at mpwac@leoacademytrust.co.uk.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our wrap around manager via the email mentioned above.

The Paul Alan Project

We are thrilled to announce that for the upcoming academic year, Manor Park Primary School will be officially supporting The Paul Alan Project as our dedicated school charity. This is a fantastic opportunity for our children to learn about community safety, emergency skills, and the importance of quick action in critical situations.

The Paul Alan Project is a volunteer-run charity with the vital mission of saving lives through emergency preparedness. They are dedicated to preventing cardiac arrest deaths in the UK by focusing on three core areas:

1. Free Lifesaving Training: They provide FREE basic life support training (including how to perform CPR and confidently use a defibrillator) to individuals and organisations in the community.

2. Defibrillator Provision: They raise funds to install Public Access Defibrillators (PADs) and Bleed Control Kits in communities, particularly in parks and residential areas where provision is often poor.

3. Awareness: They raise awareness of the signs of cardiac arrest and the difference a quick response can make.

Our 2025/2026 Fundraising Goal: £2,000 for Manor Park

This money will be used to purchase and install a 24/7 Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) and a Bleed Control Kit in Manor Park. This vital equipment will be accessible to our entire local community, serving as a critical resource in a medical emergency.

How Manor Park Will Get Involved

Throughout the year, we will be holding various exciting events and activities designed to promote awareness and raise money for The Paul Alan Project. Details of these events will be shared with you soon.

How You Can Help Now

We warmly invite our entire school community to support this life-saving cause supporting an upcoming events. If you would like to contribute immediately, you can make a donation via our dedicated charity page:
