Religious Aspects
We welcome pupils from all faiths and cultures. Religious Education is part of our curriculum throughout the school where lessons aim to foster a balanced knowledge of, and respect for, all major religions.
Regular assemblies are held for all pupils. The emphasis is broadly based on the Christian religion and tends to be ecumenical and moralistic in approach. Harvest Festivals and the annual Carol Service are normally held in the local Parish Church.
School Council
Normanhurst has its own elected group of pupils chosen by others to represent general opinion regarding school matters. The School Council holds regular meetings with varied agendas of important matters ranging from the quality of food being served to improving sports equipment.
A new committee is elected annually. Representatives are from Year 3 to Year 11

Homework
All our pupils from Key Stages 1 to 4 are expected to complete regular homework assignments. These assignments are set to reinforce and extend work undertaken in the classroom and provide opportunities for pupils to work independently. A Homework Diary is provided to record details of the tasks to be completed. Parents are required to check on a regular basis that the work has been completed.
