Dear Parents/Carers,
Thank you for all of the support and kind words we have received over the course of this year. It has been a very challenging year for everyone. I am so proud of the Newdale team for doing all they can for our children and community under very difficult circumstances.
If over the next 2 days your children have a positive covid result you need to email the school at newdale.primary@taw.org.uk or ring this school number 07765147868. We need to know in school as it may mean that the Health Hub need to inform direct contacts.
After the 2 day period has lapsed, you need to still report all positive cases, but not to school.
We really do hope this lovely spell of weather continues and allows everyone to get out and about enjoying the summer holiday.
The single most important skill you can develop with your children over the holiday in preparation for returning to school in September is Reading. Whether they read to you, you read to them or they read to a toy or even the dog, reading is the key to all learning. Any time spent on this will really benefit your children and help your teachers next year.
The teams in Newdale have already been spending so much time preparing for next year and they are already fully aware as to the children they will be looking after. We have been busy planning super events for everyone to enjoy during the Autumn and know the children will settle in quickly to their new routines.
I will be updating everyone as to the procedures we will change and retain a week or so before we return. This will be following guidance from the Health professionals and the Local Authority. Rest assured, the decision making will be measured and always have our children and families at the centre.
Stay safe everyone and have a wonderful summer.
Miss Cook
Headteacher
