You will notice that some members of staff are not included in next year’s teaching profile. 
Mrs Julie Rice is moving to a job within the Four Rivers Trust.  Mrs Rice has been at the school as an Assistant Headteacher for 12 years.  For a large proportion of this time she has been the Inclusion Lead and SENDCo at the school and I know many of you have appreciated the support she has given individual children and families.  We will very much miss Mrs Rice’s wealth of knowledge and the care and nurture she has given to so many of the children.

We are delighted to welcome Mrs Sarah Downes to the school as our new Inclusion Lead and SENDCo.  Sarah is currently SENDCo in another Stockport school and is looking forward to joining the Norbury team.

Mr Dan Hopwood is also moving to a job within the Four Rivers Trust.  Mr Hopwood has made a big impression on the school in a short space of time and I know that those children who have been taught by him have enjoyed their time in his class.  Mr Hopwood has also helped to coordinate many sporting events at the school and we are grateful to the time and energy he has given this.
​
Mrs Claire Miles also leaves us.  Mrs Miles has been part of the Year 1 team for a large part of this year and we are grateful to her for her thorough teaching as well as the care and nurture she has given the children in 1H.

Transition Week

All children will move to their new classes during the week beginning 14th July.  They will be taught by their new teachers during this week.  They will go to their current class teacher on the Monday morning and will then move to their new classes during the morning.  From Monday afternoon to Friday you will be able to drop them off and pick them up from their new teacher.  We will send details nearer the time explaining which entrance and exit you will be using. 

Stockport Food Bank

The foodbank has been in touch to offer support to any family who may need this across the longer summer break.  We have to nominate families and then give you the paperwork to be able to visit over the summer.  If this is something you would be interested in please get in touch – we are keen to support families who may benefit from this invaluable service.

School Uniform

We are trying to hold a more limited stock in school so if you still wish to order uniform for September, the best way to do this is online via the Your School Uniform website - https://www.yourschooluniform.com/   
The next delivery date to school is 17th September 2025 (order online by 24/08/25). If uniform is required for September 2025 you can organise delivery to your home address.
Please remember there is also the option of using Cress who are a preloved uniform shop supported by our Parents’ Association - https://www.wearecress.com/find-your-school/?srsltid=AfmBOorGdWN-cbW8-salKVNKcT9pQjr-Q3ZASIpvHWTR3lQk_X6bCLKV

I have added the calendar of outstanding events below.  Please refer to my previous newsletter for further details.

Best wishes,
