Nursery Family Lunch

13th July 2023

 

Dear Parent / Carer

Nursery Family Lunch Wednesday 19th July

Following on from our successful Family Lunches we have decided to continue these events with a Nursery Family Lunch on Wednesday 19th July.  Parents/carers of children who stay for lunch in Mighty Oaks and Ladybugs on a Wednesday are welcome to come along and eat lunch with their child in the nursery.  A hot lunch is not available for parents to order, we ask that you bring in your own packed lunch from home. Please do not bring in takeaways.  A hot lunch is still available for your nursery child to order in the normal way.

We ask that you arrive to have lunch with your child in the nursery at 11.30am.  If you would like to collect your child from nursery to eat lunch with their sibling/s in school could you also pick them up at 11.30am.  Entry for the Mighty Oaks lunch is via the nursery garden (next to the school hall), for Ladybugs it is at the usual entrance for dropping off and collecting.

 

Kind regards

Nursery Staffing – September 2023

4.7.23

 

Dear Parent/Carers,

We would like to update you with regards to staffing in the Nursery from September.

 

We must inform you that Mrs Curnow will be sadly leaving Newdale at the end of this academic year.

Mrs Curnow has been a very valued member of our team for 9+  years and we know she will be missed by both the children, staff and families.

I know you will join us in wishing Mrs Curnow every success in her future.

We have been busy looking at our staffing structure and can assure you that the high-quality provision will continue in Mrs Curnow’s absence.

We will be welcoming Mrs Pablos into the team as the new Nursery teacher from September. Many of you will already know that Mrs Pablos is a current experienced teacher at Newdale and has already been busy working in Nursery to ensure a seamless transition.

We will also have the following staff changes:

Miss Mellisa Hodgetts will be moving from our Ladybugs room to work in the Reception classes from September.

We will welcome Mrs Kay Hawley who currently works in Year 2, to work in Ladybugs in her place.

Miss Kerrie Risk will move from Mighty Oaks to support a key group in Ladybugs.

We will also be welcoming Miss Sofia Ahmed to the Mighty Oaks team as new keyworker in September.

All members of staff are excited about their new roles.

Regards

Miss Cook

Headteacher

Newdale Primary School and Nursery

Governors involvement within school

Governors from the Finance & Personnel met yesterday and were thankful to a Grandma of a child in reception who came to talk through the induction process. She reflected positively in that the induction process is personal to each child. She felt the information she gained before her granddaughter started school was clear and concise.

A cross section of children came to talk to governors about their understanding of British values and the BeSMART code. Children could confidently articulate their understanding and how the values relate to their life, school and wider community.

Governors met with the After School Club lead and was reassured that the range of activities and snacks on offer is of high quality. Governors were happy that the After School Club with continue to facilitate trips and events in and outside of school. They approved more investment into new resources for the club.

Safeguarding, H&S Governors

Governors met with children and discussed their experiences regarding the recent Healthy Lifestyles Week.  It was very evident that the children thoroughly enjoyed the experiences. Governors questioned the learning outcomes of the event and were impressed with the children’s answers as to what they could improve on personally following the week and what they have learnt.

Governors approved and scrutinised a number of safeguarding policies. Governors carried out an audit and were again satisfied that their understanding about policies and procedures regarding safeguarding is robust.
