Finance and Personnel Committee Update

The Finance and Personnel Committee met last week and discussed the highly positive quality of Nursery provision along with Nursery future plans. They received an update on the SEND provision across the school and spent time reading the parent comments, analysing and creating an action plan following the recent parent survey feedback. Governors would like to thank parents for finding the time to fill a survey in. Governors were delighted in the widespread positivity highlighted throughout the survey by parents. They would also like to reassure parents that each and every single comment was read and where appropriate actions planned. 

Important notices for the last few days.

Dear parents/carers,

 

Please could you ensure that you have consented to tomorrow’s Attingham trip via parentpay. Given the changeable weather, please send your child to school tomorrow in outdoor shoes and waterproof coat. They may also need a hat and sun lotion. They will need their water bottle and packed lunch in their rucksack too.

Tomorrow we will also begin sending children’s books home. They will need a strong bag-for-life for this!

Thank you,

 

The Year 3 Team

Pizza Day

Yesterday the children worked incredibly hard to create their own dough, chop their own toppings and design their own pizza. They also created pizza boxes too.

Art Day tomorrow

Good evening all,

 

Please be aware that the children are free to “express themselves” tomorrow with a non-school uniform day to celebrate Art Day. However, please do bear in mind that we will be glueing and painting all day!

 

Thanks,

 

The Year 3 Team

School Reports July 2024

End of year reports will be sent home with your child on Friday 12th July.   If an additional copy is required by a parent who does not live at the child’s home address, you must contact the school office on 387720 or email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk to make a request by no later than Wednesday 10th July.

Please ensure that you keep your copy of the report safe, especially if your child is in Year 5.  Some secondary schools (such as Thomas Telford) require a copy to be sent with the application for Year 7 places and we will be unable to make further copies for you once they have been archived.

Wrekin Walk – Final reminders

We are really excited about tomorrow’s trip up the Wrekin

Just a few reminders for you:

  • Please ensure children bring coats and carry their lunch etc in a rucksack so their hands are free.
  • Children should have a plastic bag in their rucksack to sit on in case the ground is wet.
  • The first three coaches containing year 1, 2 and 3 will arrive at the base of the Wrekin approximately between 9:30 and 9:40 with year 1 arriving first. Years 4, 5 and 6 are anticipated to arrive between 10:15 to 10:30.
  • Please note the base of the Wrekin will be very busy and police will be in attendance managing traffic.
  • If you plan on walking up with your child, please do not block coach access. You could also join your child’s class part way up to avoid congestion by the road. Regular updates will be posted on Facebook, signal permitting!
  • Please note that your child must remain with their whole class for safety reasons. If you have multiple children, you may choose to walk up with one class and down with another.
  • Adults must stay in the designated family area while the children make the heart shape at the top so the surrounding area is clear for drone footage.
  • All children will return to school on the buses even if parents have attended. If you have attended and wish to take your child straight home, it is ESSENTIAL that you sign your child out with ONLY their class teacher. If not, you can collect your child from classroom doors at whatever time they return but in order to leave school early, they must also be signed out by their class teacher. Otherwise, children will leave school as usual.
  • As there will be Macmillan merchandise, hospice cookies and Let’s Dine chocolate crunch on sale at the top, if you wish to purchase anything, you will need cash.
  • Please remember you may have to pay to park which may be a little way from the base.
