February Edion 2016 Manor School Newsleer Don’t forget to visit our Twier account for regular updates on our pupils and their school! @ManorSchBrent Dear Parents, We have had a fantasc start to the New Year. Our new class, Orchid Class, opened for 8 new pupils and they have all seled extremely well. Last week we were so pleased to have been reac- credited with the Primary Quality Mark (PQM). The PQM idenfies us as a school that provides excellent communicaon, literacy and numeracy teaching and support for our pupils to ensure excellent pupil outcomes. We are also pleased to announce that our 2014/15 pupil assessment data demonstrates that the vast majority of our pupils across the school are mak- ing outstanding progress; well done to all our teach- ers who have worked relessly towards these fantasc outcomes for our pupils. I hope you all have a happy, peaceful half term. Best wishes, Jayne New School Proposal The Head Teachers and governors of Manor School, The Village School and Woodfield School, with the support of Brent Council, are putting a proposal to the Department of Education to open a new Special Free School in September 2017. There is a need for special school places in Brent and the new school would offer 100 places for pupils between 4 and 18, adopting the ethos and practices that have worked successfully at the three supporting schools. The school would be called The Avenue, for more information please visit the web- site www.theavenueschool.london where you can complete a questionnaire to show your support for the proposal. Swimming Gala We have had a wonderful start to the Spring Term and our new pupils in Orchid Class are settling in well. There is a new lost property box located outside the school office, please make sure all clothing items sent into the school are clearly labelled with your child’s name so that we can make sure they are promptly returned. We have a new Parent Governor, Anna Vaxevanidou, who will be joining our board of School Governors in maintaining high standards within the school. We would love for our parents/carers and friends of Manor School to donate any spare children's’ books to the school for use at playtime. Some of our pupils competed in a swimming gala at the Richmond Pools in the Park and showed great sportsmanship by cheering their team mates and other competing schools. They all displayed fantastic swimming skills and Fuad, Jamie, Terrell, Haben, T’Yarni, Terrell and Sabina all came within the top three in their events. Sabihah, Leo and T’Yarni won Bronze medals and Ayub won a Gold medal!
