Our Y6 Leavers (minus one!) sporting their leavers hoodies today following an emotional leavers assembly. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house as we celebrated their amazing achievements during their time in the Primary phase. You are all so ready for the next stage in your Newman journey, and we couldn’t be prouder of the young people you are 💙

Some of our NAR students had a fantastic day out at the Butterfly House! 🦋☀️

We were lucky to have beautiful weather, making it the perfect day to explore. Students loved meeting the amazing animals, splashing and playing in the water, and enjoying everything the Butterfly House had to offer.
It was wonderful to see so many smiles, laughter, and new experiences being shared throughout the day.

A brilliant trip with lots of happy memories made! 💙

☀️ Newman by the Sea ☀️

What a fantastic afternoon we had at Newman by the Sea! 🌊🏖️

It was wonderful to see so many of our students and their families come along to enjoy the day together. We were incredibly lucky with the beautiful sunshine, which made it feel just like a real day at the seaside! 🌞

Our students had a brilliant time playing in the sand, splashing in the water, chasing bubbles, and creating lots of happy memories. Of course, the highlight for many was a visit from the ice cream van 🍦—the perfect treat on such a sunny day!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special. We love creating opportunities for our school community to come together and can’t wait for the next one! 💙
