Newbold Church of England Primary School and Nursery

Newbold Church of England Primary School and Nursery At Newbold C of E Primary School, we aim to provide the best possible education for all our children and to ensure their potential is fully realised.

We are a school whose foundation is solidly built on the teachings of Christ's Gospel and our aims for our school community reflect these values. Within the contexts of the Christian faith:

* We provide a happy and secure learning environment for all our children in which to grow and achieve their true potential, academically, physically, socially and spiritually.

* We provide an environment where our children can develop independence, interdependence, self-confidence and self esteem.

* We provide a stimulating learning environment where our children can develop lively, inquiring minds and enjoy learning.

* We offer all our children equal access to a broad and balanced curriculum.

* We meet every child's needs, extending individual talents and helping to overcome special difficulties.

* We foster respect for each other. We expect every member of our community to show care and consideration for others and to be kind and polite to everyone.

* We endeavour to work in full partnership with parents, recognising that they are the child's first teachers and can offer invaluable help in understanding the needs of the individual.

* We hope to play a full part in our local community and make full use of our local environment.

* We want our children to leave us excited at the prospect of the challenges offered by their secondary school.

* We are committed to a programme of professional development for all our staff, which will ultimately enhance the learning opportunities for our children.

We are delighted to share that we have successfully achieved our Good Travel Plan Accreditation from Modeshift! 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️🛴

A huge well done and thank you to last year’s WOW Ambassadors, who worked so hard to help record and promote the WOW Walk To School Challenge throughout the year. Their enthusiasm and commitment played an important role in helping us achieve this fantastic recognition. ⭐

We would also like to thank all of our parents, carers and families for supporting the programme by taking part in active journeys to and from school. Your involvement has made a real difference and has helped encourage healthier, more sustainable travel habits within our school community❤️

As we celebrate this achievement, we are also excited to welcome our new team of WOW Ambassadors. We know they will do a fantastic job promoting active travel and inspiring their fellow pupils throughout the coming year. We look forward to seeing what they accomplish! 🌈

Well done everyone, and thank you for helping make our school a healthier, greener place to be! 🌍💙

🚶‍♀️🚲 WOW is back at Newbold CofE Primary School! 🚲🚶‍♂️

We're excited to relaunch WOW - The Walk to School Challenge with Living Streets! Children in Year 1 - 6 can earn a special badge each month by travelling actively to school at least 3 times a week. Walking, wheeling, cycling, scooting or even using Park and Stride all count towards earning a badge.

Not only can pupils collect fantastic badges, but active travel helps children arrive at school refreshed and ready to learn, supports their physical and mental wellbeing, and helps reduce congestion and pollution around our school gates.

If you live too far away to walk the whole journey, simply park 10 minutes away and walk the final part of the trip. Every active journey makes a difference!

Let's swap some school runs for school walks and see how many WOW badges we can earn this year! 🌟👣

Dear Parents and Carers,

Due to the exceptionally warm and humid conditions this afternoon, the temperature inside the school building has increased significantly over the lunchtime period. Many children are finding the conditions uncomfortable and a number have been complaining about the heat.

If you are able to do so, we would encourage you to collect your child earlier than usual today. Feel free to arrive at any point during the afternoon session to collect. Please be assured that this is entirely optional. School will remain open as normal, with staff on site to supervise and support children until the end of the school day. Wraparound care will also continue to operate as planned.

I will be in touch later this evening with confirmation of arrangements for tomorrow

Thank you for your understanding and support.
Kerry Marsh
