Manor Green Primary School/College and the Friends of Manor Green are delighted to announce a very unique fundraising event taking place on the 9th of November from 2:30 pm till 5 pm - Dance to make a Difference! Following the previous successes of Light up the Night, we have decided to go bigger and better than ever before. We are looking to raise funds for some communication resources to be used throughout both schools enabling students to use these resources throughout their time and journey at Manor Green. We have found 9 incredibly talented, wonderful and kind dancers that have chosen to give up their Saturday, travel to our wonderful school to meet everybody and put on a show for all of us! So let’s put on a show for them and prove exactly why Manor Green is so special. This will be an afternoon of superb music and even better dancing and there’s no need to know a single step! Anything goes! The door is open to everyone we have tickets to cover it all - Adults, under 16s, carers and spectators, so if you want to just sit and tap along with your feet or you want to dance like no one is watching we’re here for it all!!! Every single penny raised through ticket sales will come directly to school and fund this wonderful project. But we can’t do this without you! So please consider grabbing the kids, the grandparents, the neighbours, even the postman if you like and let’s lift the roof off Manor Green and show everyone what makes us the community we are.  Any questions? Please contact Laura at friends@mgprimary.co.uk. Please see attached poster QR code and booking link for tickets. Thank you once again for your continued support the friends of Manor Green.   

Farewell to our super Year 6 children, wishing you all the best for your next adventures!

Well done to our adventurous Year 6 children that attended the Lodge Hill residential trip. We are so proud of them all, they have climbed, abseiled, snowtubed, zip-wired, got soaked and walked and walked and walked a bit more!

As part of our pupil wellbeing support, Fergus has been engaging with Thoughtful and created a Happy Helpers group for some of our pupils. This group has been running for some time now and is doing extremely well.   A group from the DfE in Ireland visited our lovely Happy Helpers last December and every child in the group received this letter.  Well done!

On Monday 6th February 2023, two earthquakes of 7.8 and 7.5 magnitudes struck South East Turkey and Syria, causing widespread destruction and leaving many families in dire need of help. More than 17,000 have died and thousands more have been injured. Many families lost their homes and the weather is bitterly cold. This has affected at least one of our families at Manor Green Primary, therefore we have taken the initiative to create our own support page, raising vital funds for the DEC Emergency Aid Charity. Any donation to our page will be gratefully received. Please find attached our fundraising page: Manor Green is fundraising for Disasters Emergency Committee (justgiving.com) Thank you for your continued support.

Acorns Class were delighted to be named Tilgate Bakery's 'Your Local Heroes' last week and received some delicious jam donuts! Nominated by Vic, who says "Acorns class at Manor Green Primary is a class of all non verbal autistic children. The children have to have a lot of 1-2-1 support with everyday life. The staff are more than teaching staff. The small group of staff within that class, go above and beyond daily. Not just teaching, life skills, they support parents, set up behaviour / support plans and so much more. The staff are a lifeline to many parents. It would be lovely for them to be recognised for going above and beyond."
