Holiday Provision Easter 2023

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are trialling different models of holiday provision to see which works well for our school setting.

 

In the first week of the Easter holiday, we will be open from Monday 3rd April to Thursday 6th April. Sign in will be between 8:30 and 9:00. The end of the session will be between 3:30 and 4:00.

 

We have 20 places available which can be booked on a first come, first served basis using the Crossbar website link www.crossbarcoaching.schoolipal.co.uk This link will go live on Monday 27th February after half term.

 

The cost is £15 per child per day. Children who attend would need to bring a packed lunch, water bottle and suitable clothing to match the offer around outdoor sports and indoor crafts.

 

If we cannot fill up the 20 places with Newdale children, we will need to offer it out to other children in our local area in order to make the club viable. We would prefer not to do this unless we have to.

 

We have some places available for children who are entitled to free school meals. Mrs Byrne Corbett is contacting some parents to discuss this offer. If you believe you are eligible and keen for your children to attend, do contact Mrs Byrne Corbett.

 

Places for free school meals children will not be booked through the Crossbar link above, but through our Parent Pay system. This payment will become live after parents have made an agreement with Mrs Byrne Corbett.

 

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Headteacher

Free School Meals

Free School Meal Applications

Dear Parents/Carers,

We already have quite a large number of families who enjoy the benefits after applying for Free School Meals and we urge you to reconsider if you meet the criteria listed below.

By applying for Free School Meals, very often parents think it is all directly linked to school dinners. It isn’t! If you qualify for Free School Meals it also would mean that you are entitled to significantly reduced prices for school trips, breakfast clubs and after school clubs. There are many other benefits that your child could directly receive to potentially support them at home and if needed, with their learning at school.

Families with children in Years Reception up to Year 6 can apply for Free School Meals if they are entitled to certain benefits and have an annual income of £16,190 or below.

Please follow the below link, this will take you to the Telford & Wrekin website where you are able to access more information and download an application form which will be sent directly to the team.

Year 3 & 4 Christmas Performance – 7th December

If you are attending the Year 3 & 4 Christmas Performance on 7th December and you have younger children accompanying you, please try to arrange childcare if at all possible as we do not have a creche on site.

 If this will not be possible, please can we ask that you seat yourself at the very back of the hall so that you are able to make a quick, easy exit if your younger children become noisy or unsettled.

 Many thanks in advance.
