Newton Solney C of E Infant School

A huge thank you to the brilliant teams from National Grid, who returned to Newton Solney this summer for another fantastic volunteering day! 🌿✂️
Our Forest School field has been growing non-stop lately, but this crew jumped straight in and got so much done.
From clearing overgrown paths and taming the bushes, to reshaping our willow dome and ticking off a long list of odd jobs, the area is looking better than ever.
Volunteers like you make such a massive difference to our outdoor spaces and learning environments.
Special thanks to Volunteering Matters and Mr Duke for organising such a productive session! ✨

Today we said a fond farewell to the wonderful Miss Allan, who has been a valued part of the Newton Solney family since 2014.
Over the past 12 years, Miss Allan has touched the lives of countless children and families with her kindness, patience, dedication and unwavering care. She has been a constant source of support, encouragement and positivity, helping our children grow in confidence and flourish.
Miss Allan’s warmth, sense of humour and commitment to our school community will be greatly missed by pupils, parents, governors and colleagues alike. While we are sad to see her go, we are incredibly grateful for everything she has contributed to our school and wish her every happiness and success in the future.
Thank you, Miss Allan, for all the memories, care and laughter. You will always be part of the Newton Solney family. ❤️

What a special way to end the term as we said goodbye to our amazing Year 2 children. They wowed us all with their fantastic Leavers’ Performance and enjoyed a special lunchtime celebration with their friends. We are so proud of everything they have achieved during their time at Newton Solney and the wonderful young people they have become. They really are flying high, and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for each and every one of them. Good luck, Year 2 – we know you will continue to shine! 🌟🪁💙

🐓 What an eggs-traordinary afternoon. A massive thank you to everyone who bought a square, came along to support, had a dance, and cheered on our Chicken Poo Drop fundraising event! 🎟️✨
Our feathered stars Peggy and Dusty had a great time enjoying all the extra fuss, treats, and attention today. 🐔💕
Community events like this only work because of your amazing support. Thank you FoNSS for running this event.

🍦 What a treat! 🍦
The warm weather made it the perfect time to cool down with an ice cream and put smiles on lots of faces! ☀️😊
Thank you FoNSS for helping towards our delicious ice cream treat this afternoon.

Lunchtime was extra special today! 🌟
Children who have consistently demonstrated our Do Be Values throughout the term were invited to enjoy lunch at the Golden Table. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their kindness, respect, resilience and positive attitudes. We are so proud of the fantastic role models they have been. ⭐🍽️💛

🌳✨ Year 2 Legacy Project 2026 ✨🌳
Each year, our Year 2 children take part in a special Legacy Project, reflecting on their time at Newton Solney C of E Infant School and considering how they can make it even better for future generations.
This year, the children decided that our playground would benefit from more shade and shared their vision for a calm, shaded area where children can enjoy quiet games, read, chat and spend time together. They were keen for the space to reflect our school’s Do Be Values:
💙 Do Be Kind
💙 Do Be Friendly
💙 Do Be Respectful
💙 Do Be Responsible
To make their vision a reality, the children have worked incredibly hard throughout the year to raise funds. They have shown fantastic leadership by running clubs for younger pupils and organising a successful book sale, demonstrating real commitment to improving our school for those who will follow in their footsteps.
On Friday, we held a special presentation and grand opening of the new area. It was wonderful to celebrate the children’s hard work, dedication and achievement together. Seeing their idea become a reality was a proud moment for everyone involved.
We are so proud of our Year 2 children. Their thoughtfulness, teamwork and determination embody everything we hope our pupils will be. They are leaving a lasting legacy that will benefit future generations of Newton Solney children for years to come. 🌿✨

🌟 What a wonderful traditional Sports Day afternoon! 🌟
The field was filled with smiles, laughter and plenty of sporting spirit as the children took part in a range of traditional Sports Day events. We were so proud of the enthusiasm, determination and teamwork shown by everyone.
One of the highlights of the afternoon was hearing the children cheering each other on and celebrating each other’s successes. Their encouragement, kindness and support truly reflected the values we strive to nurture at Newton Solney.
A huge thank you to all of our families for joining us and being such fantastic supporters. It was a lovely community afternoon and a wonderful way to celebrate the end of the school year. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏅☀️

🌊🧸 What a Treat! 🧸🌊
Today, the children enjoyed a special Seaside Teddy Bear Picnic with their favourite cuddly friends. Everyone tucked into a traditional fish and chips lunch, followed by a refreshing ice lolly, making for a wonderful summertime treat! 🍟🐟🍦
It was lovely to see the children and their teddies enjoying their picnic together, sharing smiles, laughter and creating happy memories.
A huge thank you to our fantastic dinner staff for helping to make the picnic so special and for serving such a delicious seaside feast. Your hard work is greatly appreciated by us all! ⭐

🌳🐭 Mouse Club Forest School Fun! 🐭🌳
It was lovely to welcome our September starters back to Newton Solney C of E Infant School for their final transition session. This week, the children enjoyed a special Forest School experience alongside their Mouse and families, exploring, learning and having fun together outdoors.
Transition is a real strength at Newton Solney, and we are proud to ensure that we know our children and families well before they start school. Through our Mouse Club sessions, children become familiar with our staff, environment and routines, helping them to feel confident, settled and ready for their next exciting step.
We can’t wait to welcome all of our new starters in September. They are more than ready for their big adventure at Newton Solney! 💙✨
