Governors are responsible for overseeing the management side of a school: strategy and vision policy, budgeting, staffing and safeguarding. We enable the school to run as effectively as possible, working alongside senior leaders and supporting teachers to provide excellent education to all our children.

We act as a critical friend to the Headteacher and Senior Leadership Team.

Yesterday, the Curriculum Committee met. Like all of our committees, this one meets every half term. We had a super pupil voice session where the children enthusiastically told us all about their learning in Science. We were also treated to some children showing off their musical Ukulele skills. We continue to be impressed with the Modern Foreign Languages (French) offer in our school after a very comprehensive update from Miss Hill.

We would be happy to welcome any parent to part of a meeting to share their views on the curriculum offer in our school. If you would be keen to attend part of our meeting, please let us know through the Newdale email account.

Kind regards,

Curriculum Committee Governors

Academy photos are in school tomorrow (4th) for class photos and Year 6 leavers photos. All pupils must come to school in full uniform.

Thank you

Newdale Team

We have always been committed to supporting working parents and also supporting our pupil premium families.

We run a blended holiday provision approach where we use Crossbar as well as our own school staff during holiday clubs: we feel this works very well and allows us to have increased numbers. It also means we have familiar adults on site at all times and means we can offer a wide variety of activities.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to run the provision this coming half term, but we are planning very much to offer provision over the summer and moving forward into the next academic year.

For those of you who still require holiday provision, there are other options for half term in other schools that you can search up on the Crossbar website.

 Thank you for your patience as we continue to fine tune our provision so that is runs well for children, staff and parents.

 Kind regards

Miss Cook
