Newbold Church of England Primary School and Nursery

Applications for primary school places closes next Wednesday (15th January).

Good morning.

Apologies for the delayed message - I have been waiting to contact staff and obtain more information with regards to the travel situation.

Due to ongoing weather and flood alerts affecting the number of staff who can safely get into school, and considering the health and safety of our school community, I have made the decision that school and nursery will be closed today.

I am sorry for the inconvenience that this will cause.

Mrs K Marsh.

Did you know that your local pharmacy can offer prescription medicine for some conditions, without your child needing to see a GP or make an appointment. This is called 'Pharmacy First'.

Conditions they can offer prescription medicine for children for are:

* Impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
* Infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)
* Earache (aged 1 to 17 years)
* Sore throat (aged 5 years and over)

If you are not within these age ranges, a pharmacist can still offer advice and support decisions about self care treatment with over the counter medicines, but you may need to see a GP for treatment.

Your local pharmacy can also suggest treatments that do not need a prescription for a range of other conditions.

Remember to think pharmacy first✅

👂Earache?

👨‍⚕️Your pharmacist can now provide treatment or some prescription medicine, if needed, for seven common conditions, without you seeing a GP.

✅Think pharmacy first.

Good afternoon,

As no further snow is forecast overnight, and the roads and site are looking somewhat clearer than they were this morning, we anticipate that school will be open as usual tomorrow (Wednesday 20th November 2024).

Remember, every time you shop and scan your rewards app at ASDA, they donate money to us. So far we have raised over £100! More information can be found on jotter.

We’ve got some exciting news to share with you!

Parentkind, a charity that supports school PTAs, have teamed up with Asda, who are making millions of pounds available to donate to primary schools across the UK through their ‘Cashpot for Schools’ initiative.

You can help by simply downloading the ASDA rewards app and shopping at ASDA as normal. Every time you shop, ASDA will donate 0.5% of the value of your shop at no extra cost to you. To opt in to our cashpot, search for our school using our postcode (S41 8PF) as there are two Newbold Church Schools in the cashpot.

Better yet, ASDA donate £50 to every participating primary school and for every new joiner to our cashpot we will receive a £1 donation.

Hurry! This offer only runs until 30th November!
