• Easter Events

  Tue 16 Mar 2021

  Easter Raffle Tickets On Sale NowI am pleased to say that we will be having an Easter Egg Raffle this year. Our staff have kindly donated lots of Easter Eggs and all children have the opportunity to buy a maximum of two tickets at 50p each. As we are unable to hold assemblies at the moment each class will hold their own raffle. If anyone is able to source more eggs for us from local shops or businesses we would be very grateful. We also have an amazing hamper to raffle off made up for us by Miss Baker. It contains lots of chocolates and sweets as you would expect for Easter. It also contains Easter activites and a Cuddly toy. Children will choose their own name for the Easter Bunny and the draw for this will take place during the last week of term. It will cost £1 per child if they wish to take part in this. If your child wishes to take part in both they will need to bring in £2. It would help if the money could be in an envelope with the amount and child's name on.

• Safer Internet Day

  Fri 05 Feb 2021

  'On Tuesday 9th February, the children at Newdigate will be learning all about online safety because it is Safer Internet Day. This year's theme is "Together for a better internet!". Due to the current circumstances, children are increasingly spending more time online, so this is an extremely important topic. Why not have a conversation with your child/children about online safety this week? Have a look at these top 10 tips for internet safety to get you started.'

• Key Worker Provision

  Tue 05 Jan 2021

  Dear Parents/Carers

   

  Just to confirm, our Key Worker provision will be 8.45am-3pm every day. Children need to attend in uniform please and can order a school lunch as usual if needed. Remember to send them with extra layers as we will be ensuring classrooms are well ventilated as per government guidelines

  In order for teachers to plan for remote learning and learning in school, if you need a key worker place, you will need to take this place Monday to Friday for the full school day as we are unable to accommodate flexible collection times and days this time round.  Any absences due to illness will need to reported to office in the usual way. 

  If you think you will need a key worker place and haven't yet contacted us, please contact us ASAP with proof of key worker status. 

  Further information regarding Free School Meals and the plans for children's home learning will communicated to you over the next day or so. We would like to thank you all for your patience and understanding at this time.

If you require a critical worker place, please email us on admin2633@welearn365.com with proof of key worker status ASAP so we can plan the provision.

   

  If you are entitled to Free School Meals, we will be providing a packed lunch each day for the remainder of this week, please contact the office in the morning before 9.30am if you wish to collect one. More information about the arrangements for future weeks will follow.

   

  We will also be sending out more information regarding remote learning and online lessons which will follow in the next couple of days, so please keep an eye on your emails and on the school app/website.
