Our artist-in-residence, Simona Pretara, worked with children in the Juniors to create a magical entrance to our school.
Using their imagination and developing their skills of experimentation, the result is a truly stunning entrance to the school...
it has to be seen to be really appreciated.

SOUTH NORWOOD PRIMARY SCHOOL

FACTS AND FIGURES

 

  • South Norwood Primary School is a two-form entry primary school. This means that there are two classes in each year group. However, in September 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Local Authority requested that we take in an extra Reception class due to the demand for places in the local area.

 

  • There are three entrances to the school: the main entrance in Crowther Road and two additional entrances in Gresham Road and Birchanger Road.

 

  • The school was originally built as separate Infant and Junior Schools and there is still an Infant building and a Junior Building.

 

  • As at 1st November 2011, there are 454 children on roll at the school, from ages 4 to 11.

 

  • The school has two groups specially designated for children who have a statement of education need for ASD (autistic spectrum disorder). The six children in the Infant Group are taught primarily within their group setting, whilst the six children in the Junior Group are taught within their class setting and withdrawn for social and communication support as appropriate.

 

  • 22% of our children are on the Special Needs register and receive additional support appropriate to their level of need within the school.

 

  • 27% of our children have EAL (English as an Additional Language), although most are fluent speakers of English.

 

  • We employ teaching assistants to work specifically to support our EAL children and our BME (black and ethnic minority) children.

 

  • In 2007, the school received a £9,000 Awards for All Lottery funding grant. This was used to install a Fitness Trail, refurbish the Library and to set up a Steel Pan band.

 

  • Also in 2007, South Norwood Primary was awarded the Activemark. This recognises that all of our children receive at least two hours of curriculum PE each week.

 

  • In 2008, we were awarded the Artsmark Award for our commitment to developing The Arts as part of our children’s development.

 

  • In 2010, South Norwood Primary School received the prestigious accolade of becoming a ‘Healthy School’.
