Dear Parents and Carers,

As we come to the end of this long term, I want to say a big thank you for all of your support. It makes such a difference to the children and to the school, and we really appreciate your involvement.

I would also like to thank our wonderful staff for their hard work and commitment. They have given so much time and energy in making sure the children have had a positive and successful term. They are already busy planning next term!

It was fantastic to see so many parents and grandparents joining us at the various Christmas events. Your presence made the celebrations even more special for the children. We are planning a Spring ‘Newdale’s got talent’ event, so it might be a time where you can start working on something with your children. They do not even know about this yet, but I am sure very many of them will be super excited! Details for this event are not confirmed just yet, but I wanted to give you the heads up.

Today, staff will be taking part in training to get ready for the new term. The office staff have asked that if you have any outstanding balances linked to school dinners or breakfast club, please can they be cleared before the end of play today.

We are already looking forward to welcoming the children back on Monday, 5th January 2026.

On behalf of everyone here, I wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Warm regards,

Miss Cook
