From immediate affect the school will be using a new system to report a child’s/children’s absence from school or nursery.  We ask you to email in via our new email address:  Attendance@newdaleschool.org.uk  Please do not phone in.

When emailing please add your child’s name, class teacher and reason for absence.  If we need any further information we will be in contact.

You can also use this email address to inform school of medical or dental appointments.

Many thanks for your co-operation.

Cool Cat week

Dear Parents/Carers

As many of you will have seen, Cool Cat was on the gate welcoming everyone into school this morning. (He has not been into school for a while, so was mistakenly called Buddy Bear by many!)

Cool Cat comes in to check that all of our children get to school on time and every day.

We hope that your children look forward to seeing him for the rest of this week and that it means they leap out of bed on time, to get ready for school!

Teachers are continuing to work so hard in making sure that all children ‘catch up’ following the last 2 years of covid disruption. Unfortunately for some, Covid is still impacting on attendance.

Teachers plan sequences of learning that run over a number of days/weeks. Even one day missed, puts a child at a disadvantage.

If you struggle with getting your child to school and feel like you need some tips, please speak to Mrs Powell or Mrs Byrne-Corbett who will be happy to help.

Miss Cook & Cool Cat!
