Free Dog Waste Bags Available for the Newdale community

Dog fouling continues to be an issue in parts of our local area, and we are working closely with the Parish Council to help keep our community clean and safe for everyone.

To support this, free dog waste bags are now available for parents/ carers to collect from the school office. By making bags more accessible, we hope to reach a wider area of the Parish and encourage responsible dog ownership.

Thank you for helping us keep our paths, play areas, and walkways pleasant for all in our community.

World Book Day – Stories that Add Up

On Thursday 5th March, the children at Newdale will be celebrating World Book Day, alongside NSPCC Number Day.

Children will enjoy a range of fun activities that combine the magic of stories with the power of numbers. They can:

  • Take part in maths-themed reading challenges
  • Solve story-based puzzles and problems
  • Explore books that bring maths to life

Dress-Up Theme:
Children are welcome to dress as their favourite book character or get creative with a maths-inspired costume (numbers, shapes, patterns – let their imagination run wild).

Please ensure costumes are comfortable and suitable for school activities.

We look forward to a day full of reading, counting, and creativity! Thank you for your support in making this event a success.

Weather Update – Storm Goretti

We are closely monitoring Storm Goretti and following the latest guidance from the Met Office. Current forecasts suggest that Telford may begin to feel the impact from around 5pm this evening.

At this stage, we are hopeful that Newdale will be open as normal tomorrow. However, there is a chance that some or all our services could be affected depending on how the weather develops.

We know how important timely information is for our families, so we will continue to keep you updated and share any changes promptly via Facebook.

Kind regards, Newdale
