What’s App – Year 5

We have been made aware of some What’s App groups involving children in year 5 that we are asking for you to please monitor.

Within the chats, older children, who are not known by everybody, have been added and some of the content and messages being sent are not age appropriate.

As a school we will continue to address online safety in lessons and making sure pupils understand the importance of staying safe online and ask you as parents/ carers to support at home and monitor devices.

School Reports Information

Reports will be sent out on Friday 10th July (apart from Year 6).

If any parents require a second copy of their child’s school report please email school on newdale.primary@taw.org.uk by Tuesday 7th 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

Many thanks

Government evaluation: Share your experience of walking, wheeling, and cycling to school 

Our school has agreed to take part in an important government evaluation of interventions that enable walking, wheeling and cycling to school. The findings will help Active Travel England make walking, wheeling and cycling to school easier and safer for children.

All parents and carers of pupils in Reception, Year 1, Year 5 and Year 6 in our school are eligible to participate in an online survey. This will take around 10 minutes to complete and will ask questions about:

  • How your child travels to school.
  • What helps or makes it hard to walk, wheel or cycle to school.
  • What you think about changes to help children travel actively to school.

If 50 parents and carers of pupils in our school take part, then our school will receive a £75 Love2Shop voucher.
