Arbor notifications

We have had some parents inform us that they are not receiving messages through the Arbor app or know that they have been sent a message.

Please can you ensure that you have ‘push notifications or allow notifications’ enabled on the Arbor app. You will then receive a notification similar to a SMS message on your home screen to alert you to a message in Arbor.

This setting can usually be made on your phone via settings>apps>then select the Arbor app.

Family Photos for Reception Starters September 2026

Calling all families of Nursery children who are joining Newdale Reception classes in September…

In Reception, we understand that everyone starts school with differing levels of confidence to separate from home, to form new friendships and cope with change. We aim for all children to quickly develop a sense of belonging at school and find that family photos can really support with this process.

We like to display family photos in class to ensure they can see your faces throughout the day. This can offer a little reassurance.

Please send in a family photo via the reception email address for us to print and add to our class display ready for September.
newdale.yearrteam@taw.org.uk

Thank you for those family photos sent in already. We look forward to meeting you all very soon.

Reception Message

We would like to let Reception and Nursery families know that next week will be the last week for Miss Risk here at Newdale Primary.

 

Miss Risk has been a valued member of our team and has worked so hard to help and support all the children during her time here with us, both in Nursery, Reception and in After-school Club.

Miss Risk will be leaving to take up an exciting new role at another Nursery. While we will be sad to see her go, we wish her every success and happiness in her new position.

Miss Risk’s last day will be on Tuesday 16th June. We have informed the children of her news and would like to reassure parents that as we are fortunate to have a large staff team in Reception, we will be able to continue the same level of support for the children for the rest of the academic year.

Please join us in expressing our thanks and well wishes to Miss Risk on her next adventure!

Farm trip

Please send your child into nursery wearing waterproofs and wellies tomorrow. The forecast is looking like we could have some heavy downpours at the farm but in true early years style we will plough on regardless!
