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:

Important Reminder: Alternative Pick-Up Arrangements and Walking Home Alone 

School email volume is high, so please plan ahead for after-school pick-up!

To ensure a smooth dismissal process and the safety of your child, we kindly ask for your cooperation with the following procedures:

• Pick-up by unauthorised person: If someone other than your designated contact list will be collecting your child, please send a note to their class teacher that morning. This will allow the teacher to be aware and prepared for the alternate pick-up arrangement.

• Year 5 & 6 Students Walking Home Alone: For students in Years 5 or 6 who are allowed to walk home by themselves after school and/or after clubs, written permission must be emailed to the school office at office@manorpark.sutton.sch.uk. This email should specify your child's name, class, and permission for walking home alone after school and clubs.

  • Same-day changes? If you need to grant permission for walking home alone on the same day, please write a note to the class teacher or call the school office directly.

  • Email processing time: Please be aware that emails may take up to 15 days to be processed. Same-day requests via email might not be received in time.

By following these simple steps, you can help us ensure a safe and efficient after-school dismissal for all our students.

Thank you for your cooperation!

SET and 11+ Exams

Please be informed that any Year 6 child attending an 11+ exam must provide the school office with an invitation letter from the High School. This letter will be used to mark the child's absence as authorised.

You can submit the invitation letter either via email or by providing a physical copy to the school office.

Please note that Manor Park Primary Academy can only authorise either the morning or the afternoon session of the exam itself and your child is expected to arrive at School for the other session.

If your child requires a school lunch on the day of the exam please let the office know as soon as possible.

Thank you for your cooperation.

After School Clubs

After School Clubs  are up and running  and uptake was excellent. 

May we please remind you that your child should attend each week and if for some reason they have to miss a session. a note should be sent in to their class teacher that  day. Clubs finish at 4.30pm Monday to Thursday and at 3.30pm on Friday -please ensure children are collected on time.  

Medicines at School and Medical Needs

Children are not allowed to bring medication into school including non prescription items (like  cough sweets) to administer themselves. We do not normally administer any medicines in school unless they are for a long term chronic condition such as asthma or if it is detrimental to a child's health if the medicines were not administered during the school day.

If your child  requires medicine during the day, such as antibiotics, please ask your GP to prescribe dose frequencies which enable it to be taken outside school hours i.e  before school after school and before bed. Alternatively, parents are welcome to come into school and administer medicines themselves, by arrangement with the office.

If a medicine needs to be administered during the school day, please come to the school office to discuss this and complete a permission form online.

If your child has an injury that has required hospital treatment (injured arm or leg,  bang to the head or similar) please come to the school office  on their return to school. We must assess how their injury will need to be managed in school and if anything  needs to be put in place to  support them.

Flu Vaccination 

This autumn term, your child’s annual flu vaccination is on 8th October. 

Please use the link provided below to access and complete one electronic consent form for each child in school to ensure your child receives their vaccination:

Lateness

We wanted to remind you that arriving on time is extremely important for a child as it ensures a good start to their day and to their learning. It also enables them to see their friends, chat to their teacher and consolidate or extend their learning from the previous day.  

Arriving late causes a child to feel embarrassed and unsettled and can also be very disruptive to the class who may have already started their learning or gone into the hall for assembly. If a child arrives after registers have closed at 9.15am, this becomes an unauthorised absence on their attendance record.

Registration takes place at 8.45am and the children should be in class by then.  Some of our children are arriving after 9.00am and by the time they hang their coats up and place lunch boxes on the racks, they are missing the start of the day.

Most of our late arrivals are only a few minutes late and we hope the following suggestions may help if you have  difficulty getting your child(ren) to school on time.

• Ensure that your child has a good bedtime routine and a nutritious breakfast in the morning to set them up for the start of the day.

• Allow enough time for your journey to school.

• Always have a back-up plan if a problem arises-a family member or another parent who could bring your child to school in the morning.

A Cut Above the Rest: Lilium's Incredible Act of Kindness!

We want to share a truly heartwarming story from our very own Year 2 pupil, Lilium, who used her summer holidays to make a fantastic difference to others!

Over the six-week break, Lilium underwent a very special transformation. For her first-ever "real" haircut, she bravely had a whopping 15 inches cut off her beautiful long hair! But this wasn't just any haircut; Lilium generously donated all of it to The Princess Trust, a wonderful charity that creates real-hair wigs for children and young people who have lost their hair due to illness.

As if that wasn't amazing enough, Lilium also managed to raise an incredible £170 for the charity through her GoFundMe page! This fantastic amount will go directly to The Princess Trust to help them continue their vital work. Her GoFundMe page is still live if anyone wishes to contribute further. Please click on this link to contribute.

Lilium is incredibly proud to have given her hair away to another child in need, and we are all so unbelievably amazed at how compassionate and brave she has been. It takes a lot of courage to do something like this for the first time, and to do it for such a selfless cause is truly inspiring.

She is very excited to share her achievement with everyone at school and hopes her story inspires others to feel proud of themselves when they do anything that requires them to be brave too. What a wonderful example of kindness and bravery, Lilium!
