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

Communication – Arbor

From next week our main communication to parents/carers will be through Arbor using the app instant message which will be similar to the previous text message service. Our website and Facebook page will continue to be used as additional forms of communication alongside Arbor.

 Please ensure you have set up your account by next week in order to receive communication from school.

If you are experiencing any issues with setting up your account, please get in touch with the school office and we shall do our best to help.
