Reminder – NSPCC Number Day – this Friday

On Friday 7th February, Newdale will be celebrating NSPCC Number Day again. Over the past few years, our pupils have loved being involved in our maths-themed activities, listening to maths-related stories and participating in TTRS battles during the day. Pupils from Nursery to Year 6 and invited to ‘Dress up for Digits’ on this day. This means having a maths or number themed outfit – it could be a sports top that features a number or something more creative such as decorating your own t-shirt or even dressing up as a domino, dice or calculator!

As this day is organised by the NSPCC, part of the day is about celebrating and supporting all of the amazing work the NSPCC do to keep our children safe. The children will spend some of the day learning about this charity. As we won’t be collecting cash donations for this dress up day, we ask all families to consider making a donation to the NSPCC so that they are able to continue doing their amazing work!  Donations can be made at this link: Donate | NSPCC

Newdale Number Day 2025

If you have any questions about the day, please get in touch with your child’s class teacher or teaching assistant.

Stay and Share session – tomorrow

We are really looking forward to our ‘Stay and Share’ session this Wednesday at 2:30pm. Please enter your child’s classroom from their usual drop off/pick up location (Years R, 2, 3, 5 and 6 parents should enter from the playground classroom doors, Year 1 and Mrs Everall’s classes’ can be accessed from the decking and Mr Banfield’s class from the stairs by the Visitor Car Park). Playground gates will open at 2:30pm.  For this event, the children will remain in their classrooms so if you are visiting more than one child you will be able to move between the classrooms and spend some time with them individually. We look forward to seeing you all and the children can’t wait to share their learning with you.

Arthog Update

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We are writing to provide important information regarding the upcoming Arthog residential trip scheduled for 6 – 10th October 2025.

As you are aware, the Arthog residential offers our students a unique opportunity for personal growth, team building, and outdoor education. We understand that this trip requires a significant financial commitment, and we appreciate your support in making this experience possible for your child.

We would like to inform you that Arthog requires payment 12 weeks in advance for the residential. However, Newdale covers this cost initially to ensure that parents have additional time to pay for the trip using our payment plan. Arthog does not offer refunds once payments have been received. Therefore, should you change your mind about your child attending Arthog or a change in circumstances means they can no longer attend, after Monday 2nd June, we will not be able to offer a refund. Arthog strongly recommends that parents take out personal travel insurance in the event that their child can no longer attend the residential.

This policy is in place due to the advance commitments and non-refundable deposits required by the venue. We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mr McFarland and Mrs Stack.

Stay & Share Session – Wednesday 5th February

On Wednesday 5th February, we will be hosting our first ‘Stay and Share’ session at 2:30pm.
This is an exciting opportunity for the children to share their learning with you so far this year. Due to space constraints, we are only able to accommodate one parent/grandparent per child.
If you have more than one child in school you will have the opportunity to visit their classroom during the session, so please book a place for each child.
Attendance must be confirmed through ParentPay so staff are aware of expected numbers on the day. Further details will be shared closer to the time.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
