School Information

This section of the web site informs you about the organisation and policies of our school.  It demonstrates how parents can participate in the life of the school and help their children to derive the maximum benefit from this period of their education.  There are many opportunities for parents to become involved in our day-to-day activities besides the usual school functions and open evenings, and we welcome you all. For your convenience, it has been divided up into sections so that you can easily find what you want using the index on the left of the page.

Norden has been a primary school for over 60 years situated on Shawfield Lane.   The school moved from its original site to Shawfield Middle School premises and has become a large Community School.  We have excellent facilities such as a fully equipped domestic science room, a large library, rooms designated to Music and Drama, as well as a state of the art ICT suite.  To the rear of the school are huge playing fields and several playgrounds.  We also have a hall and a separate dining room and a large gymnasium.  Norden library is now located at the school.

Being a Community School means that there are many activities taking place for the Community during the day  in the evenings and week-ends for much of the year.  The children can make full use of these facilities.

The school is a two-form entry mixed primary with a Nursery which means we can take up to 60 children in each year group.  We hope you find the information contained in here to be useful, but realise that this is no substitute for a visit.  Do come and see us and we will be happy to give you further details.
