Well done and thank you to Years 4 and 5 for hosting our annual Easter Tea Party.  The donations of cakes and raffle prizes was wonderful.  Well done to the performers in Year 4, Year 5, the School Choir and individual musicians.

Thank you to our visitors for making this event so joyous.

Thank you to Burton Borough School for hosting the Newport Big Sing 2026.  Our NJS Choir did us proud with their performances and it was a great community event bringing children together through music.

Thank you to Mrs Ollerenshaw for preparing the choir so brilliantly and to Mrs Moody, Miss Lockwood and Mrs Jones for accompanying them on the evening.

Please can we remind you that children should have a filled water bottle in school each day.

Some great ideas here from the NHS about varying the content of children’s lunchboxes and keeping them healthy.

Please can we remind you that in order to request any leave during term time a form, from the school office, needs to be completed and returned in advance of the leave.

Please can we also remind you that term time leave is unlikely to be authorised.  More information from the Local Authority can be found here (including details of Penalty Notices): leave-of-absence-leaflet-sept-24-updated-rg

We finish today (27th March) for the Easter holidays and return to school on Monday 13th April.
