Careers Week

Dear Parents and Carers,

At Newdale, dreams and aspirations are harnessed and nurtured. This is the vision for all of our pupils. We teach all children to become self-confident and to take control of their own lives and create their own futures.

To support our pupils to have dreams and aspirations, we plan a careers programme to help inspire them to work towards the jobs of their dreams.

Our school is a place where everyone gets excited about their next steps and futures. We would like to invite you to share your occupations with our children.

Our careers programme has successfully run in school previously and we are looking for willing volunteers to lead activities with pupils or participate in talks, either in person or via teams.

Careers week will take place week commencing 5th July.

We are looking for people who want to share their experience of their own job – The more varied the occupations the greater the learning experience we can provide.

If you are interested, please email the office and we will get back in contact with you.

Many thanks

Miss Broadhurst

Collection of children at the end of the day

As part of our commitment to safeguarding children, it is vitally important that you let the school office know if someone other than the person who usually collects your child will be collecting them after school.

 

Our staff are directed to carry out checks if they do not know who the person who is collecting. Your child will be kept safe in school whilst we try to contact you to find out if you give permission for them to be released to this person. As you can imagine, this may take some time in order that we get your permission for your child to be released

 

To ensure that this is avoided, you need to let school know if there is a change. The best way of contacting school to tell us about this through either a note in the home / school communication book if you know in advance or a call into school on 01952 387720.

 

Thank you in advance for your continuing support.

Update 14.5.21

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you know, we keep our eye on any guidance that is coming out from the health experts and the local authority. Yesterday more guidance came out about face coverings. As a reaction to this, we are altering our risk assessment. From Monday 24th May (a week on Monday) you will be allowed on site without a face covering. Staff will still have to wear face coverings in communal areas in school, but not in the classrooms. The rest of our procedures remain unchanged at the moment and as we wait to see what happens next with the Indian variant of the virus.

To reassure you, every adult in school continues to test at least twice a week.

It is still really important that you are overly sensitive when looking at your child’s health. If they have any of the three main symptoms, it is important that they have a full PCR Covid test (the link to book one is below) –

  1.   High temperature
  2.   Continuous cough
  3.   Loss of taste and smell

We are ever hopeful that as time goes on, more and more restrictions can be lifted. The figures for Telford are encouraging and therefore the route to normality still remains firmly in place.

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Sports Day

Sports Day

Dear Parents/Carers,

Many schools are abandoning Sports Day due to the risks linked to Covid 19. We know that children love this event and want to put the effort in to allow this event to go ahead in some way. We have therefore decided that each year group will have their own mini sports day. Here are the dates and times –

29th June 2021

Year Reception                       9.15am – 10.30am

Year 3                                     10.45am – 11.45am

Year 4                                     1.45pm – 3.00pm

30th June 2021

Year 1                                     9.15am – 10.30am

Year 5                                     10.45am – 11.45am

Year 2                                     1.45pm – 3.00pm

2nd July 2021

Year 6                                     1.45pm – 3.00pm

Usually, we run a House competition across school on sports day. However, due to the current circumstances and house allocations, this is not possible to continue in the same format. Miss Jones and Mr Irvine are busy working on teams within the year group. Children will undoubtedly tell you about that as soon as they know.

The sports day will be carried out on the sports field.  We ask that parents wait by the main gates onto the school playground, where a member of staff will let you in. Children will be on one side and adults will be socially distanced on the other side of the track. The children may be sat in class team bubbles, but this may change if the Covid 19 restrictions are eased by then. At this time, we are stating that parents must wear a mask for the duration of the event. Again, we will review this restriction in line with guidelines and advice and we will keep you informed.

Due to the time the children will be outside, could you please ensure that your child has applied sun cream before coming to school and brings a hat with them.  Drinks will be provided for them at various stages.

Regardless of what happens Covid wise we will stick to the Year Group events this year and will ensure the children have a great time.

Yours sincerely

Miss Cook
