About Norbury School
Norbury school opened its doors on September 1973. It takes children from 3 to 11 years of age. There are up to 90 children in three classes, in each year group. Our Nursery class is limited to 52 children; half attend the morning and the other half the afternoon session.
Our website is designed to give you a glimpse of our school and is packed with information that you as parents and carers will need to know. Our website has information on all the aspects of our school including Safeguarding, admissions criteria, times of the school day, school curriculum, school uniform, school clubs.
At Norbury, we have a strong vision which forms a fundamental part of how we move the school forward. Our school has a very dedicated team of staff who work exceptionally hard to ensure each child achieves their best, they are fully supported by the members of our Governing Body.
We believe that young children learn best when they are stimulated by an exciting and challenging curriculum which motivates them to learn. We actively encourage children to be inquisitive about the world around them and we celebrate every child’s success. Our aim is to create a lifelong love of learning in every child in an environment where every child can flourish academically, socially and emotionally in a welcoming atmosphere and provides a safe, secure and stimulating environment where children can enjoy their learning and thrive.
We have high expectations of all our children both in terms of behaviour and learning.
