Learning About Staying Safe – Share Aware & PANTS Rules

This week, the children from Reception to Year 6 have been taking part in the Share Aware lessons from the NSPCC, understanding how to stay safe online and make sensible choices when using the internet and social media.

We also introduced the PANTS rules, another NSPCC initiative that teaches children about body safety in a simple, age-appropriate way. The PANTS rules help children understand:

  • Privates are private
  • Always remember your body belongs to you
  • No means no
  • Talk about secrets that upset you
  • Speak up, someone can help

These lessons are designed to empower children to stay safe both online and offline. We encourage you to continue these conversations at home. For more information and resources, please visit:

Thank you for supporting us in helping children stay safe and confident.

Fallen Tree

Please be extra careful when arriving at school this morning if you are accessing the school grounds from the rear of the site.  There is a fallen tree that came down during the storm.  Risk assessments are in place and access is still possible.

Free School Meals

Many of our families are already benefiting from applying for Free School Meals, and we encourage you to check whether you may also be eligible.

It is a common misconception that Free School Meals are only linked to school dinners — there is so much more to it. If you qualify, your child is also entitled to reduced prices for school trips, breakfast club, and after‑school clubs. In addition, there are a range of other forms of support your child may receive, both at home and in school, to help them with their learning and wellbeing.

Families with children from Reception to Year 6 can apply for Free School Meals if they receive certain benefits and have an annual income of £16,190 or below.

To find out more or to apply, please follow the link below to the Telford & Wrekin website, where you can access further information and download the application form. Alternatively, our school office team will be happy to support you with the application process.

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
