Newport School Blog

We have today posted details on our web site about three new administration posts across our school and children centre.

If you have the right skills and want to help deliver the changes at our school and support the learning of our children, then have a look at our vacancies page on the main school website.

We look forward to getting your application. If you have any questions, just ask?

We have recently posted the minutes of the Parent/Carer Forum meeting held on the 25th February 2010.

You can see the details of what was discussed and what it was that those participating in the meeting asked questions about.

You can find the text on our Parent and Carer Forum page.

Thank you to everyone who took part.

Haiti from the sky

Just a quick blog entry to say thank you to everyone who helped us raise over £600 for the Haiti Earthquake Fund on our recent non-uniform day.

This was great and will add your own contribution to those of everyone around the world helping to relieve the suffering of the Haitian islanders.

Thank you everyone for a great day too.

Don’t forget that World Book Day is on the 4th March 2010 too.

We love books at Newport School and the World Book Day website is well worth a visit.

You can find places to redeem your vouchers, play some games and just find out about this great book occasion.

Keep reading at Newport School. (You can find the World Book Day school resources page here).

We will be holding our next Open Evening in school on Thursday 4th March 2010.

Don’t forget that school will be closed from 1.15pm that day.

If you haven’t yet sent back your appointment slip please do – it’s a great help in organising your visit. Thanks.

Our next Parent/Carer forum will be held on the 25th February at 6.00pm.

We look forward to seeing you at these school events.

There is also a link to the pre-inspection information we published last year.

You can also find a copy of  our latest governor report, a letter from our Chair – detailing the improvements that have already started.

Simon Thistle has taken some great photographs of our school. These are now available to view on our new school gallery page.

You can see from the images the range of resources we offer at school, some of our spaces and a number of our children enjoying their time as learners at Newport School.
