Site Access

 

 Dear Parents/Carers,

I have now completed a site walk and can update you concerning access.

The top gate and top car park will remain closed as the work is completed. We anticipate this to be for approximately 4 weeks.

The main gate and the gate by the Year 6 classrooms will be open. We are also temporarily opening the double gates to the rear of the reception outdoor play area.

This will mean that we have a route open that goes right around the school and therefore everyone will be able to get where they need to be.

Teachers and Teaching Assistants will be visible to help with finding the correct classes. We will also have a good number of other staff outside to assist.

With the top car park being out of action, we are going to have to prioritise staff parking on site for this short time. This will mean our visitor car park will mainly be full of staff cars. We are leaving the 3 disabled spaces free and the 3 spaces next to them free for our visitors and for blue badge holders.

We are concerned about breakfast club drop off time as we know this is a time that this car park is used significantly. Please make alternative arrangements if you can for this short period of time. It is unavoidable and I can assure you that the contractors are working really hard to finish the work as quickly as they can.

Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,

Miss Cook

EYFS Macmillan Event Information

You will have seen the letter sent out recently regarding ‘Climb Against Cancer: Newdale walk up the Wrekin to raise money for Macmillan’, with details of how you can support this cause through sponsorship on our justgiving page.

On Tuesday 25th June, our very youngest pupils in Nursery and Reception will be taking part in a sponsored walk along a specially planned route around the school grounds. They will use our sports pitches and the play areas to form the shape of a heart to symbolise the love and support we all feel towards those affected by cancer, followed by ten laps around the sports pitch!

In line with the rest of the school, we would like children to come dressed in the chosen colours to represent the event.

Please can children come dressed in:

RECEPTION –  WHITE TOP

NURSERY – RED TOP 

We do have a small amount of school sports bibs should anyone need support.

We look forward to EYFS taking part and will be sure to share lots of photographs. Thank you for your continued support.

Whole School French Day

On Friday 5th July there will be a whole school French day for pupils from Nursery to Year 6.

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, the can-can and much more.

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 continue support.
