Update: 28.6.21

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Unfortunately we have had 2 more positive cases in school (not related to any previous cases we have had).

 

Thank fully our online learning offer is established and that teachers can switch rapidly to avoid children missing more of their education.

 

If your child is any of the bubbles that have been told to isolate, yet you are finding it difficult to gain online access, please call the school and we will do all we can to help.

 

Our procedures in school are as tight as they have ever been and we hope that this outbreak has rapidly been brought under control.

 

As ever, if your children are displaying signs of illness, or in fact if anyone in your house is showing signs of illness, please play it safe and keep children off and get them tested.

 

This virus variant seems to display itself with a headache and cold like symptoms.

 

Luckily due to timings, the bubbles sent home today will be welcome back next Monday, so thankfully only miss 4 more ‘in school’ days where they have to isolate.

 

The Newdale team will continue to work so hard in ensuring the online offer is as high a standard as possible.

 

Thank you for your ongoing understanding and support.

 

Miss Cook

Primary/Secondary Virtual Transition Workshop

Telford SENDIASS are holding a Primary/Secondary Virtual Transition Workshop on Wednesday 14th July, 10.00 am—12.30 pm

Moving to Secondary school is a big step for all children. It can also be a challenging time for some children who may need additional support to help make this stage of transition in their lives a positive experience.

Additional copies of reports

End of year reports will be sent home with your child on 9th July.   If an additional copy is required by a parent who does not live at the child’s home address, you must contact the school office on 387720 to make a request by no later than Monday 5th July.

Please ensure that you keep your copy of the report safe, especially if your child is in Year 5.  Some secondary schools (such as Thomas Telford) require a copy to be sent with the application for Year 7 places and we will be unable to make further copies for you once they have been archived.

RSE consultation response

Thank you for all of the parents who responded to our RSE consultation.

All of the responses have been analysed and your views taken into consideration.

All respondents were happy with the content that we will be delivering in a sensitive and age-appropriate way.

As a result of the consultation, we will be introducing an additional session for pupils in Key Stage 2. In Year 4, pupils will have independent sessions and then be brought together to outline changes in an age-appropriate way. Then in Years 5 and 6, they will learn more about the physical changes to themselves as a group. This will be following the independent sessions as are in place currently. Parents felt that this would be an important and positive aspect of our offer.

Any parents who have asked for help or guidance in supporting their children with RSE will be contacted shortly by either Mrs Powell or Mrs Huda.

Thank you again for your continued support.

Mrs Bishton
