Concerns of parking outside school

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have again been approached by a local resident who has stressed concerns that parking and movement of vehicles near her home is becoming a real issue. The resident reports that numerous cars block her driveway and  use it to turn around, with many vehicles being driven erratically and way too fast.

They go on to say that they understand that it is difficult for parents, as the school site isn’t ideal by way of accessibility, however a lot of the movement of vehicles is unsafe and they worry that a nasty accident could happen.

Please can we remind you to drive carefully, park respectfully and where possible leave vehicles further away from the school and walk in.

Thank you for your support in this.

Children in need – 19th November

 

 

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

As previously advertised, our Year 4 children took part in the Children in Need ‘Big Fancy Dress Singalong’ this morning. We hope that some of you were able to tune into BBC Radio Shropshire this morning, where they broadcasted from Newdale before the children recorded performing their song and routine. The video will be uploaded onto BBC Radio Shropshire’s Facebook page and we think it will be on Midlands Today at 6.30pm this evening. Please do tune in!

 

We would still like the whole school to join in on the fun and support the main event which takes place on 19th November 2021.

 

On this day, children are invited to dress down and come to school in their Pudsey outfits, something spotty or striped or simply their own clothes if they would prefer.

 

Due to the virus, we will not be taking any cash donations for this event.  Instead you can use the link below to donate.

Regards

 

Miss Cook

Individual and sibling photos

Academy Photography will be in school on Wednesday 1st December to take individual and sibling photos.   As school is so big, we will no longer be able offer family photos that include siblings who do not already attend our school or nursery, as we struggle to fit them all in by the end of the day.

Online Safety Warning – Squid Game advice for parents

It has been brought to our attention that some children have been watching a new Netflix series called Squid Game.  May we remind parents that this series is rated as a 15 due to its adult content.

It is vital that you monitor what your child is watching online and we recommend that they watch TVs and devices in a communal room at home rather than in their bedrooms.

It is a good idea to set up a Netflix Kids experience profile so you can be sure that they are watching only child-friendly programmes.  There are many other ways to keep your child safe when using Netflix.  Please read the safety tips below:

If you have any concerns or need further advice, please contact a member of the Newdale team.

Community Grocery Store All Nations

A community grocery store has opened at the All Nations Church, Holyhead Road, Ketley (opposite Farm Foods).  This is a fantastic new store where members can shop for a fraction of the cost of a supermarket. 

Miss Cook went along on the opening day to see what they have on offer……

‘The quality of the items on sale is great. It is well worth a visit and I really do hope this local facility will make a significant difference to many of our families.’

To find out more, visit the store and speak to one of the friendly team. They will ask you to complete a simple form and to pay your annual £5 membership which allows you two weekly high quality shops for just £3 each!

The community store also offers so much more than just food. There is a range of free support including job clubs, money management support, healthy living classes to name just a few.

Please click on the link for further details  https://communitygrocery.org.uk/telford/ 

The Community Grocery is being run by the national award-winning charity, The Message Trust in partnership with local churches.

Additional Bank Holiday

Dear Parent/Carer,

You may be aware that the Government have announced an additional bank holiday on Friday 3rd June 2022, in order to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

As a result, schools have been instructed by the Department for Education to incorporate an additional day’s holiday for staff and students into the academic year 2021/2022.

Therefore, the School will be closed to both students and staff on Friday 27th May 2022.

The Term Timetable on the School website has been updated to reflect this change. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. We wanted to map out this day as quickly as possible, so as to give you as much notice as we can in relation to organising childcare.

Kind regards,

Miss R Cook
