Parent Survey

Dear Parents and Carers,

At Newdale Primary School and Nursery, we greatly value feedback from our parents and carers. We kindly ask that all families complete our annual parent survey by Friday 5th June 2026 using the link below.

https://forms.gle/8q5MmKxwDGCQXTJH8

If you would like further information about any of the questions before completing the survey, please visit our school website or Facebook page, or speak to a member of our team who will be happy to help.

To say thank you, families who include their child’s name in the survey will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win one of our fun summer prizes!

All named entries will be entered into the draw, with winners receiving a summer toy for the whole family to enjoy.

Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Kind regards,
Miss Cook

May Is Get Caught Reading Month!

Throughout May, we are celebrating Get Caught Reading Month — a wonderful chance to shine a spotlight on the joy of reading!

We would love your help in capturing our children in the act of reading. Please send in a photo of your child enjoying a book. This could be:

  • Reading in their favourite cosy spot
  • Reading outdoors in the sunshine
  • Reading to a sibling, pet or teddy
  • Reading something unusual or fun (comics, magazines, recipes, signs, etc.)
  • Reading in an unexpected place — creativity encouraged!

You can either:
– Print the photo and send it into school, or
– Email it to your child’s year group email address

We will be creating a lovely display to celebrate all the wonderful readers in our school.

Thank you for helping us promote a lifelong love of reading! 📖💛
