Wow! What beautiful weather we have been having recently!
As the weather is getting warmer, please can you ensure that your child has a water bottle, a sun hat and wears sun cream to school. If your child needs to reapply sunscreen during the day, we ask that it’s kept in their bag with their name on, and then applied by the themselves when appropriate.
Just a quick reminder about our uniform policy…
At Newdale our school colours are navy blue, black and grey.
We request children wear a navy jumper or cardigan and grey or black skirts / pinafores or trousers along with a light blue collared shirt. If you would like to order uniform with our school logo on, please do so via Baker and Sons Schoolwear in New Street, Wellington 01952 641897. This is not compulsory: uniform without a logo is acceptable as long as it matches our chosen colours. In warmer months, blue gingham dresses / black or grey smart shorts can be worn. Please ensure that these are of an appropriate length and aren’t too high above the knee.
All children need to wear sensible shoes (no heels or trainers please). In the colder weather, girls are permitted to wear black, navy or grey tights.
PE Kit
We have decided that we will continue with allowing children to come to school in their School PE kit on PE days. The reasons for this is linked to the time it takes for some children to get changed often eats significantly into the actual time carrying out PE lessons. It is also much simpler to do this, when looking at the lack of private space for children to get changed, and the unhygienic option of them getting changed in the toilets.
The school PE kit is as follows –
A plain or school logo navy PE top
Plain navy shorts or tracksuit bottoms
A plain or school logo navy sweatshirt/hoodie
Black pumps or trainers
We do ask that no sports logo kit is used as school PE kit please – they must be either plain or with the Newdale logo. It is important that everyone abides by our uniform rules as we know how important is it that children feel part of our Newdale team.
Thank you for your continued support.
We hope you continue to enjoy this glorious weather.
