Food Waste

Last week our kitchen recorded a large number of wasted hot dinners.

We believe that some children are ordering a hot dinner at registration and are then changing their mind when arriving in the hall at lunchtime and instead selecting sandwiches.

Please could we ask parents to remind children how important it is to stick to their original meal choice. Teachers will also continue to  remind children of this in class.

This helps us reduce food wastage and ensures the kitchen can prepare the correct numbers each day.

 

Thank you for your support.

SEND Coffee Afternoon with PODS

On Wednesday 25th February, Newdale are excited to welcome PODS back into school for our final SEND ‘Cake and Cuppa’ session as part of the PINS project. This will take place from  2.15 – 3pm to give time to collect your child afterwards. Mr McFarland will be explaining some of the strategies used in school to support a neurodiverse child that you can also use at home. The PODS team will be available to discuss how they can also support your SEND child outside of school and the clubs, workshops and meetings available to you.
This event is completely free to attend. Please confirm your attendance via Parent Pay and arrive through the school office.
