Learning About Staying Safe – Share Aware & PANTS Rules

This week, the children from Reception to Year 6 have been taking part in the Share Aware lessons from the NSPCC, understanding how to stay safe online and make sensible choices when using the internet and social media.

We also introduced the PANTS rules, another NSPCC initiative that teaches children about body safety in a simple, age-appropriate way. The PANTS rules help children understand:

  • Privates are private
  • Always remember your body belongs to you
  • No means no
  • Talk about secrets that upset you
  • Speak up, someone can help

These lessons are designed to empower children to stay safe both online and offline. We encourage you to continue these conversations at home. For more information and resources, please visit:

Thank you for supporting us in helping children stay safe and confident.

Weather Update – Storm Goretti

We are closely monitoring Storm Goretti and following the latest guidance from the Met Office. Current forecasts suggest that Telford may begin to feel the impact from around 5pm this evening.

At this stage, we are hopeful that Newdale will be open as normal tomorrow. However, there is a chance that some or all our services could be affected depending on how the weather develops.

We know how important timely information is for our families, so we will continue to keep you updated and share any changes promptly via Facebook.

Kind regards, Newdale
