Thank you for your patience in receiving your refunds for the Crossbar after school clubs. We are currently waiting for ParentPay to transfer money, as soon as this has been completed we will send a text informing you that your refund has been processed.
Please complete the form below if your child is eligible for a school place during the current school closure. All applications will be reviewed and considered once the form has closed at 9.00am on Thursday 14th January.
Please note that the filling in of this form does not guarantee you a place.
A member of school staff will contact you Friday afternoon to inform you if we can safely offer your child/ren a place. If we are unable to, we will support you in directing you to the remote learning offer we have in place.
All school staff would like to thank you for your unwavering support in these testing times.
There has been a lot of publicity around the offering of free school meals in the press. On 8th January we informed you that we would be working with Edenred Uk and was waiting for further guidance from the Department of Education. Because we understand this is taking some time for the guidance to be released, we have ordered our own vouchers in the hope that they will be processed swiftly. As our post stated on 8th January if you are desperate for food we can in the short term offer packed lunches, please do not hesitate to contact our school office or pastoral team for more support. I can assure you our team are working very hard to ensure that vouchers are received as quickly as we possibly can. Many thanks for your patience and understanding in this difficult time.
Parents/Carers will be contacted by 12.00 pm via text message on Friday 8th January informing them their child has been allocated a space at school between 11th – 15th January.
School day starts at 8.40 am, please wait at the gate for a member of staff to welcome you onto school site. Parents/carers will continue to follow the one way system to drop off their child/children. Please remember to wear a face mask when on site.
Children are to wear school uniform. On days that children take part in PE please wear PE kit (exactly the same as before Christmas). Individual PE days are found on class news feed.
School lunches will be available to order however we do have a limited menu and may not be able to offer what is currently advertised.
Parents/Carers are asked to wait at the school gates to collect their child at 3.00 pm, a member of staff will welcome you on site.
Breakfast Club – will only be available to those children who are currently registered, we will not be taking any extra bookings.
After School Club – is only available to those who are currently booked, we will not be taking any extra bookings.

Unfortunately there is a glitch with the current form. We are working on it and will send a text out once this has been rectified.
If you have completed a form for next week you will need to complete the new form as this will have been deleted.
Please note that we will not offer places on a first come first served basis. We look at each child individually.
Thank you for those parent/carers that have responded to our survey sent out tonight. I can confirm if you have not been contacted by either email or text message to provide further information we will see you in the morning.
Thank you to all those parents and carers who have responded so promptly to the form requesting a place for their child/ren.
This form link will no longer be accepting responses tonight to allow staff to plan provision for tomorrow.
School staff will now go through responses and plan provision accordingly.
If you are a parent / carer who has not responded to the form by the cut off, we will be sending another form tomorrow for only those parents who think they are eligible to complete.
Many of our staff are working parents as well and we can appreciate how you are feeling now! Thank you for your unwavering support and flexibility.
Update 4.1.21
Dear Parents/Carers,
As many of you will have seen, schools across the country are closed with immediate effect.
We are as frustrated as many of you are with this last minute change of direction.
As ever, we want to support you in whatever way we can. Our teaching teams are all set for online learning and will contact you either later on tonight or in the morning with more information.
We will be operating a limited offer in school to support some specific groups. Please open and complete this form if you think you qualify for this support.
We have already operated very successful online learning for 2 year groups in school and are confident that we can roll this out across the whole school quickly.
Clearly the big issue could well be access to digital devices for our children, especially if you have more than one child in need of access at the same time. Teachers will be delivering live sessions which will be recorded and shared. The intention being that children can tune into the sessions when a device becomes available to them.
We really do need your support. Children may well need an adult to help them log on and get started! Again, if you are stuck, email in to your child’s year group email that was posted earlier.
More information to follow tomorrow.
Miss Cook
Headteacher
Update 4th January 2021
Dear Parents/Carers,
The Newdale team have all been working very hard today, making sure we are ready to welcome your children back to school tomorrow.
We are aware that there is a Government announcement at 8pm tonight that may change things, but we wanted to share as much information as we can now, with things as they currently stand.
We have further reviewed our risk assessment and consulted staff on measures we feel would limit risk to a greater degree.
Procedures that stay the same –
Additional measures –
If you require any further information about your child’s class, please use the year group email. This will be monitored daily and staff will get back to you as quickly as they can. Also don’t forget to refer to the class pages on our website which will be updated regularly.
Reception: newdale.yearrteam@taw.org.uk
