NMP News & Newsletters

Welcome to NMP News, where we share and celebrate the exciting things happening across Norbury Manor Primary School.

Much of the video footage on this page is created by our NMP News Team, made up of pupils from Years 5 and 6. Our young reporters capture school events, special activities and educational visits, giving pupils the opportunity to develop their communication, teamwork and digital skills while sharing school life through their eyes.

You can also find our half-termly school newsletters on this page, celebrating achievements and keeping families up to date with school life. Since last year, each newsletter has also included an audio version, making our news more accessible to our whole school community.

2026  -  2027

 Norbury Manor Primary School is delighted to celebrate the fantastic achievements of our pupils during our  Autumn 1 Term 1a Challenge Week!

Centred around our special 'We Are Norbury Week' theme, the children focused on developing essential Skill Builder skills in speaking and listening. By performing traditional stories, our pupils demonstrated true Empathy as they learned to communicate their ideas effectively and listen with care to one another.

Bringing their hard work to life, the children performed brilliant trailers of their pieces in assembly.

Now you can watch the full performance below!

Our enthusiastic pupils asked thoughtful questions to support their understanding of their own roles as school councillors. This inspiring visit perfectly highlights our school value of Scholarship, encouraging our young pupils to develop lively, enquiring minds and learn to lead others.

 Fasting During Ramadan

The Holy month of Ramadan has now begun. 

Whilst we recognise that fasting is not required before the age of puberty in the Islamic faith, we understand that many younger children will want to join their family and friends in this religious observance. We will try to respect your and your child’s wishes in such cases. However, the National Health Service considers fasting for younger children unadvisable. Therefore, we do not encourage children in KS1 or younger to fast in respect of this.

If children in Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, or Year 6 wish to fast for the month of Ramadan, or part thereof, written permission must be provided by the parent/carer for them to do so.

So that we can provide a safe environment for your child if they wish to fast, we ask that you bear in mind the following:

• No child will be able to fast if consent is not given from their parent/carer by filling in the form below.
• An emergency, healthy snack must be brought into school each day they are fasting.
• Children who are fasting will not participate in P.E and should not exert themselves physically. In accordance with this, fasting children will be encouraged to make use of the playground quiet areas during break times.
• In the rare circumstance that your child may become distressed, dehydrated, or unwell when fasting, the school will encourage the child to break their fast by drinking water and eating their emergency snack.
• The school will inform parents immediately if they have concerns about a child’s health and/or wellbeing, so please ensure that your contact details on MCAS are current and correct.
• Children with medical conditions, e.g., diabetes, that could be complicated by fasting will not be permitted to fast at school.

If you do not provide us with consent, we will assume that your child will not be fasting and will continue with their school meal(s) or packed lunch as usual.
