PODs – Parent Carer forum for a ‘Cake and Cuppa’ session

Newdale are excited to be taking part in the PINs project this year. We will be hosting the first PODs – the Parent Carer forum for a ‘Cake and Cuppa’ event in our school hall on Wednesday 24th September 2-3pm. This will give you the opportunity to learn more about neurodiversity and what support is available for your child, including those without a diagnosis. Mr McFarland (SENDCO) will also be available to discuss the SEND provision in place at Newdale.

This event is completely free to attend. Please confirm your attendance via Parent Pay. November & February dates will be added to ParentPay closer to the time.

Welcome to Reception at Newdale!

Welcome to Newdale Primary School 2025.

We are all really looking forward to welcoming everyone into Reception for their first day of school, either for their morning or afternoon session on Tuesday. We know you will be so smart in your uniform and will have such a great time catching up with or making new friends.

Please find attached an information sheet. It shows you the staff working in our Reception team, along with a map for entry and exit details for your new classroom. We hope you find this helpful.

Please note, Forest School will not start week 1, so no kits needed this week. Further information to follow.

It might also be comforting to watch the virtual tours on the Reception page with your child prior to their first day, to remind them of what their lovely new classrooms will look like.

See you very soon,

The Reception Team

 

French Day – Friday 4th July

We are excited to announce our upcoming whole-school French day which will be on Friday 4th July  for pupils from Nursery to Year 6. This event has been designed to immerse pupils in the French language and culture through fun and engaging activities.

Pupils can come into school dressed in red, white and blue or even create a costume inspired by a famous French landmark. Throughout the day there will be various activities for the children to participate with including, cooking, handball, pétanque, Farandole (a traditional Provence dance) and much more.

Learning a language goes beyond vocabulary- it opens minds, builds confidence and encourages global awareness. By celebrating France, we help children develop a deeper appreciation for diversity and strengthen their language skills in an enjoyable way.

There will also be the option to have a French themed dinner which consists of quiche, ratatouille, and chocolate mousse, alongside the normal fish and chips which will be served.

If you would like to make a voluntary contribution of £2.00 to support the resources on the day, please log into parent pay.

Thank you for your continued support.
