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:

At LEO Academy Trust, the safety and well-being of our students are our highest priorities. We would like to bring your attention to a recent amendment regarding our Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy.

To keep pace with evolving tech trends, we have updated our guidelines to include wearable technology (such as smartwatches and fitness trackers with communication capabilities).

The policy now explicitly includes wearable devices alongside mobile phones to ensure consistency across all our campuses. The updated phrasing is as follows:

"Pupils/students will follow the school's policy on mobile phones and wearable technology as outlined in the Safeguarding and Child Protection policy.

On School Grounds: To ensure a focused learning environment, students are not permitted to use their personal mobile phones or any other wearable technology on school grounds or during lessons at LEO Academy Trust schools."

After School Clubs Collection

Please may we remind you that if your child/ren attend an after school club, they need to be picked up from school promptly at 4.30 pm. 

The school office closes at 4.30 pm and the teachers have other commitments that they need to attend to. 

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Lateness - Polite Reminder

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 enables them to see their friends or chat to other children in the playground before school and it also enhances their confidence and their social skills.

For Years 1 - 6, school gates open from 08:30 am and close at 08:45 am. If you child were to arrive after this, they may miss registration and vital learning for that day.

• 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. 

Reporting your Child's Absence 

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. Report your child 

We often find that being in school and seeing their friends takes their mind off feeling  a little under the weather. 

If your child has been prescribed antibiotics, and needs to take it throughout the day, please bring the antibiotic to the school office and complete the administer medicine form and the school office will be more than happy help.

Appointment through the School Day

Please ensure that all dental and G.P. appointments are made after school wherever possible to minimise gaps in your child's learning. We require a copy of letters for hospital appointments, visits to embassies or passport offices, and high school entrance exams to enable us to authorise these appointments. Where necessary, we are able to photocopy the original documents, and return as required.

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.

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:
