Rights Respecting Schools Award

The variety of topics covered in PSHE lessons include relationships & sex education, money, personal health, social issues and drug awareness – providing children with vital information to live a healthy life. At Manadon, we feel that an awareness of these topics is crucial to provide children with an understanding of the world we live in and how they can stay safe.

Our staff feel it is important that resilience, confidence and independence are highlighted as attributes that should be developed in our pupils. Moreover, their skill and professionalism enables them to select a wide range of appropriate resources to support and encourage all learners. 

As a school, we are inclusive and support many different charities throughout the year, with children participating in a huge range of fund raising activities.

Furthermore, upper key stage 2 are encouraged to explore wider life issues in preparation for secondary school and beyond. Indeed, we feel proud that through our PSHE curriculum and the ethos of Mrs Gilbride and the whole school team, our children at Manadon leave us as kind, discerning, confident and well-balanced individuals.

Dear Parents and Carers, We are delighted to announce that our school will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to discover new books, foster a love of reading, and help support our school. The Book Fair not only encourages reading for enjoyment but also raises valuable funds that will be used to purchase new books for our library and classrooms. Book Fair Details: Date(s): Monday 16th March, Tuesday 17th March and Thursday 19th March. Time(s): 8:00-8:30am and 3:00-3:45pm. Location: Year 5 and 6 learning space (upstairs past the school office) Students and families are warmly invited to attend before or after school. Payments can only be made via card as we are now a cashless school. More information about online payment options will be shared closer to the event. Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at the Book Fair and appreciate your help in making this event a success. Kind regards, Miss Harris. Year 5 teacher and English lead.

Year 2 have had a very creative term 🎨 We enjoyed learning about the artist William Morris and had a go at printing to create our own wall paper, inspired by his love of nature and repeating patterns. We also loved performing our puppet show with our very own felt puppets, linked to the story ‘Oh Dear!’ Well done year 2 👏🏼

We took 2 combined yr3/4 teams to a tournament today at Marjons. Despite drizzly weather all day, both teams were excellent and qualified from their groups. As predicted, they ended up having to play each other in the quarter finals. After winning the quarters our Manadon 'Athletic' team went on to win their semi final 2-1 Vs Leigham and then also win the final 2-1 Vs Widey. Well done to both teams! And a special well done for winning the tournament!
