Year 6 Height and Weight 

Every year in England, school children in Year 6 have their height and weight checked at school as part of the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP). Height and weight measurements are used to calculate weight status. The nursing team will be coming to Manor Park on Monday 11th November to collect this information to build a picture of how children are growing, to help plan better health and leisure services for families.

If you are happy for your child to be measured, you do not need to do anything. If you do not want your child’s height and weight to be measured, or your child has a medical condition that affects their height or weight, please let the nursing team know using the contact details provided below.

Children will not be made to take part on the day if they do not want to.

Thank you for your continued support.

Inclusion Drop In

On Tuesday, 19th November at 8:45 am, Manor Park Primary Academy's Inclusion Team is hosting a Drop-In session. 

We warmly invite all parents to attend as this is a fantastic opportunity to meet our dedicated Inclusion Team and discuss any questions or concerns you may have about your child's education. 

No appointment necessary. We look forward to seeing you there! 

School Uniform and Appearance 

To maintain a positive and inclusive learning environment, we kindly ask all students to adhere to our school uniform policy.

Key Points:

• Neat and Tidy: Students should always look neat and tidy in their school uniform.

• Tucked-in Shirts: Please ensure shirts are tucked in.

• Appropriate Footwear: School shoes must be worn at all times. Trainers are not permitted.

• Hair: Long hair should be tied back.

• Jewellery: Only small, plain studs are allowed. Remove all jewellery for contact sports and swimming.

• No Nail Polish: Please note that nail polish is not permitted.

• Label Everything: To minimize lost property, please label all belongings with your child's name.

We appreciate your support in ensuring your child complies with our uniform policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

By working together, we can maintain a positive and productive learning environment for all.

Christmas Lunch

Christmas is fast approaching and to celebrate, the children are invited to celebrate our Christmas Lunch on Wednesday, 4th December 2024, in the school hall.

Please see our festive Christmas Lunch menu on the attached flyer. An email containing all the information has been sent home today.

The deadline to complete the google forms is by 4.00pm on Friday, 22nd November 2024, in order to give our LEO Catering Team enough time to order the food in advance. 

Should you have any queries, please contact Miss Tok in the School Office, on 020 8642 0144, who will be more than happy to help you. 

Absence through Illness

If your child is unwell and will not be coming to school, please inform the office by 9.30 am via the School Website Reporting Absence Link. If you are unsure whether your child needs to be at home, for example after the initial symptoms of illness have eased, bring them to the school office and we will be happy to monitor them and call you if necessary. We often find that being in school and seeing their friends takes their mind off feeling  a little under the weather. 

Parking Safely Around School Entrances 

Please can we politely remind you of the importance of parking safely around the school entrances. Parking is strictly prohibited outside the school gates and our children's safety is compromised by anyone who stops on the zigzag lines or on the corner of Warwick and Greyhound Road. We also ask you to be considerate of our neighbours in surrounding roads and therefore not to park across driveways at drop off and pick up times. They, too, could be parents who need to collect children from school  and would be unable to get their car off the drive. Thank you for your co-operation.
