Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) pupils consistently excel and are better than national figures in Physical Development and Personal, Social, and Emotional development. Our KS1 SATS results show that we excel in all subjects, where our results were above national averages, especially in Maths and Reading at Level 3. At KS2 SATS we have exceeded national averages in all subjects for the last two years and significantly in Mathematics and English Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling, especially with our children achieving level 6’s.
We are a Knowledge Centre for Safeguarding and our workshops and seminars support schools in Harrow and share the excellence at Norbury. We are the leading primary school in the NSPCC PANTS program and lead in Female Genital Mutilation education, working alongside the Azure Project with the Metropolitan Police and we are a case study championed by the Home Office. We lead across the borough in gymnastics, we are Harrow Schools and London Youth Games medallists in many disciplines.
All those at Norbury are Norburians whatever age or role, which means we all strive for the best, every day, to be better. Norburians are experts in many religions and we celebrate all together as a community, knowing that knowledge makes us stronger to challenge the negatives in the world in which we live.
- We value all in our community equally.
- We are proud to be a world in school learning together.
Our Learning Charter demonstrates our pupils are central in their learning, as the Charter was created by them, and staff.
- All learners have the right to learn, be valued, and listened to.
- All learners have the responsibility to allow themselves and others to learn, be valued, and listened to.
- All learners respect the rights and responsibility of themselves and others to learn, be valued, and listened to.
- Having a go first and then talking about what we have found out.
- Linking previous learning to new skills and making links across subjects and year groups.
We enjoy the opportunities to ‘think, pair, share’. We prefer questions which mean we have to consider facts, opinion, debate and explore to find answers. We want thinking time and for all of us to participate in learning. We accept that learning is a journey that never ends, though has many twists and turns.
