50 Things to do During Time at Manorside

During your time with us at Manorside Academy, we want to make sure that you experience a wide range of opportunities and ‘moments’ that we believe are important in every child’s time growing up – and that your time with us will help you to take a range of knowledge and experiences onto your next school and beyond.

The staff and pupils at Manorside have created a list of special moments and milestones that will be achieved during your short time with us. These are closely linked to the school’s curriculum and broken into year groups to ensure they are purposeful, progressive and engaging for all pupils. When you join Manorside Academy, you will receive a booklet that will move with you through the school where you can document each of these milestones as you achieve them.

Have a look at the list below and see what you can look forward to achieving alongside your everyday learning within the classroom and school day.
