Dear Parents,

As we reach the end of another school year, I wanted to get in touch to thank you for all your support this year.  It is truly a privilege to work with your children and we appreciate all that you do to make their time in school successful.

Thank you to so many of you who have attended sports day events over the last couple of days.  We had the perfect weather conditions and no tricky decisions about whether to go ahead or not!  Please could I ask that any photographs or videos of your children are not shared more widely on the internet but limited to family and friends. 

Results for the Key Stage 2 Sports Day are as follows:
1st place- Yellow (curiosity) with 67
2nd place- purple (bravery) with 61
3rd place- green (understanding) with 59
Well done to team Curiosity!

If you need to contact us over the summer, we will be periodically checking the office emails.  The school office will be open from 9:30 am – 12:00 pm on Tuesday 1st September and Wednesday 2nd September if you need to talk to someone.  These are INSET days for the children.

I hope you all have a marvellous summer.  I want to wish our Year 6 leavers well as they start their high school journey.
 
Best wishes
Becky Wood

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are fast approaching the end of the school year and I wanted to update you on arrangements for next year as well as imparting some other key pieces of information.

Staff News
​
Miss Gregory has made the difficult decision to step away from teaching for a while. 
I would like to thank her for the contribution she has made to Norbury Hall and wish her well in the future.

Miss Manfredi has been appointed as a class teacher from September 2026.  Miss Manfredi has supported the school this year in an agency capacity and we are delighted to welcome her to the team.

We are also saying goodbye to Mrs Boygle.  Mrs Boygle has worked with our Year 6 across this year and has been a great addition to the team.  We wish her well in the future.

Class Arrangements for 2026 / 2027

The children will work with their new teachers during the week beginning 13th July 2026.  On Monday 13th July they will come into school as usual and after registration will move to their new classes and teachers.  They will work with their new teachers for the remainder of the week.  Our current Year 5 children will be at Robinwood with their new teachers from the Wednesday to the Friday.  Our current Year 6 children will work with other teachers during this week.  Their focus will be on finalising plans for their Leavers’ Assembly.  They will be based in the hall on Monday and Tuesday and then in their classrooms from Wednesday to Friday.
​
This will obviously alter drop off and collection arrangements for the week (from pick up on Monday 13th July):

Annual Report to Parents

Annual reports to parents will be sent home with your child on Friday 10th July.  These will give you a picture of your child’s attainment and progress across this academic year.  If you want to discuss the report further, please get in touch directly with your child’s class teacher.  There is a section on the report for you to be able to respond to the report.  If you wish to do so, please return this page of the report to school.  We will then make a copy for our records and return the original to you. 

Request

Thank you for sending in cardboard boxes for use at lunchtimes in our OPAL zones.  Please could we ask that boxes that have contained nut-based products are not sent into school. This supports members of our school community with allergies.

Price Increase – School Meals

From September the cost of a school meal will rise to £3.00.  This reflects increasing food prices and a price increase from our current meal provider.  Meals continue to be free for children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 as well as those eligible for a free school meal.
We still have many events and activities taking place before the end of the school year.  The relevant dates are below and you should have received further information from our phase team leaders.
​
Best wishes
Becky Wood
