School Dinner pricing from Summer term

From next term all school dinners will be charged at £2.70. We know this is an increase, but we are still confident that our school lunches offer great value and provide a nutritious lunch for all children.  The new menu will be distributed and added to the website as soon as school receive it.

Thank you

Finance and Personnel Committee Update

The Finance and Personnel Governors met this week and without doubt the highlight was again talking to children! We invited a group of children with additional needs from across the school to talk to us about their learning and the support they receive. It was reassuring for Governors to hear how enthusiastic they are about school.

Schools across the country are under immense pressure to remain financially stable. Governors scrutinised the Newdale budgets and discussed ideas moving forward. Measures that will be taken will ensure we are financially stable and yet, will not affect the quality of education for our children.

Good luck everyone!

The raffle will close on Tuesday 19th March and will be drawn on the afternoon of Wednesday 20th March. Winners will be contacted directly. All money raised will go into school fund to help subsidise school trips/events. Good luck everyone!

V-Tech watches

Please can we remind parents of the below, this is also relevant for dress up/non uniform days. Children must not be able to access a device during school hours that can take photos/recordings due to our safeguarding policy and permissions for photos/recordings for some children we must follow.

 

The watch itself has a camera on it which means it can record at any given time. The welfare of our children is paramount and therefore, due to the safeguarding risk, these watches will be banned in school. If a child comes into school wearing a VTech watch, it will be taken off them and returned at the end of the day.
