Reminder – Health Strategy Survey

Dear Parents/Carers,

The Telford Health Improvement team and I would be really grateful to parents if they could spend just a few minutes filling in the attached survey.

As an incentive, we are offering a £25 Love2Shop voucher to one lucky person who does!

All you have to do is fill in the survey, then let the office staff know you have. They will collect names and then one lucky person will be pulled out of a hat!

It is really important that we gather community thoughts on health matters in our borough, as your opinions really do drive change and the offer we have across Telford.

The survey is live until 2nd October.  Link to survey attached below.

Many thanks

School site parking

Dear Parents/Carers,

 Similarly, to most other schools, we have parking issues at the beginning and end of each day. Many schools do not even allow access to Blue Badge holders at any point during the day.

We want to be able to continue offering Blue Badge holders access, but do ask that you do not move your vehicles whilst we are at our busiest time with very many young children and pushchairs moving around the site. Please wait until it has quietened down before moving.

Please note that disabled parking spaces on school site, are for blue badge holders only.

Recently it has been noted that some parents without a disabled badge are parking in the disabled bays, even though there are normal spaces available. 

Please can we stress how important it is to leave these spaces clear, even if you think it is only for a few minutes.

We continually monitor our school site and of course safety is of paramount importance. If we believe our site is becoming in anyway dangerous, we would have to reconsider all access arrangements moving forward.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Pastoral Team update

Dear Parents/Carers,

As many of you will have noticed, Mrs Powell is not with us at the moment. Mrs Powell is very much missing her role in Newdale and we are all very much missing Mrs Powell.

She is not well enough to carry out her role at this time and I know you will all join me in wishing her well.

In the short term, Mrs Poole, our SENDco is leading the Pastoral team with Mrs Byrne-Corbett and Mrs Cooper supporting.

We are unsure as to when Mrs Powell will return but felt it important to update everyone as I know some parents and children have been asking.

If you need to contact a member of the Pastoral team, you can do on Newdale.inclusion@taw.org.uk or catch them on duty at the beginning and end of each day.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook
