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. View full school

At Norbury Manor Primary School Our priority is to ensure that our pupils receive an excellent education in a nurturing environment that encourages our pupils to Make Every Moment Count. We are dedicated to continuing to build opportunities for pupils to achieve the highest academic standards ensuring that they are known well as individuals and that their unique personalities, talents, and interests are given the opportunities to flourish within and beyond the classroom. We aim to achieve excellence in all areas so that our children, regardless of their starting point, are enthusiastic, independent learners who view the world around them with enquiring minds and give them the resources to be ‘learners today and leaders tomorrow.’ We believe that children whose parents are involved and interested in their learning do well. We involve parents in their children’s learning and encourage them to be active members of the school community. Parent communication is organized to encourage wide participation and honest conversation. We expect all parents to support their children’s educational aspirations and achievements. The school curriculum is designed to match the Early Years Foundation Stage and National Curriculums and is characterized by “Depth to Enable Breadth". Our Curriculum has evolved from Brian Males and Ed Hirsch's ideas of curriculum development and our drive for depth before breadth. The roots of our tree symbolize the key skills and values that will ensure our pupils are stable and have the fundamental skills to turn their dreams into reality. Our trunk symbolizes the strength of their character and the experiences that mold them while the leaves and branches are the concepts the pupils learn throughout their life. As our pupils grow and the seasons change, their knowledge grows, their opinions change, and sometimes their ideas are strengthened. The seed that starts our journey is based on the ‘Talk for Writing’, Busy Ants, and ‘Not as you know it’ curriculum. Our approach aims to engage and motivate our pupils using quality text that is studied over several weeks. Cross-curricular links are made to support children’s understanding of the text. For example, they could be reading the book ‘Carries war and studying World War II in History. View full school
