Reception Message

Good evening,

You will have seen the update about the building work being completed on site at school currently. This work does mean that the outside play area of Reception has had to move many items out of the area whilst the work is being completed.

Please bear with us, and we will have the outside area back up to its usual standard as soon as we can. In the meantime, we will be making use of the immediate area outside our classrooms and bringing across the resources as we need them, as well as making use of the playground and jungle gym.

Year 2 Welcome Letter -2024

Safeguarding, Health & Safety Committee Update

Governors observed the annual innvacution and were impressed with the speed in which children got into their classrooms.

ROSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) report was analysed thoroughly, and governors had the chance to look first hand outside at items listed and share their thoughts.

Governors were delighted to speak to a parent in the meeting who receives excellent support from school. Governors are looking forward to seeing the opening of the new hub provision and talking to the children during the autumn term.

Wrekin Walk-Year 1- Miss Hill’s Class

Wow, what an amazing day we had yesterday!
We are so proud of the Year 1 children. They showed great resilience and determination to get up the Wrekin.

Their behaviour was impeccable and they were a real credit to Newdale.

Thank you for all of your continued support.

Here are some pictures below.

Curriculum governors involvement update

The Curriculum Committee of Governors met on Tuesday 23rd April. They had an in depth look at our PE offer (with Mr Bryant) and our Maths offer (with Miss McCullagh). They met with some very keen mathematicians from across the school, who loved showing off their maths books and telling Governors all about their lessons.

Governors went on to look at our Equality targets and where we are in achieving them by the end of the year. Governors were reassured to see that attendance was looking more positive.

Governors really value the committee meetings as they always include gathering the views of children and seeing firsthand the work they do. They also value having valuable time with subject leaders so they can gain a very clear understanding about curriculum intent and impact.
