Notes/Reminders

Parking

Following an accident this afternoon, parents are reminded not to drive down Arch Road at any time. Thank you.

Parent Survey

Please find below the link to our Parent Survey for Summer Term 2021-22.  We would love to hear your views about our school and about your children’s experience.  Do please be honest (the survey is anonymous), but if there is anything you are not happy with, do also speak to me or a member of the senior leadership team to let us know - we can’t act if we don’t know what the problem might be.  We will always try to help if we possibly can.  Equally, if you’re very happy with all the work our school team are doing, please do let us know and don’t assume someone else will - our school staff all work very hard and they would love to have your feedback on their work!  Thank you for responding to the survey which you can find here.

eSafety and Safeguarding

Reminder: Keeping children safe online and in the real world

At Cardinal Newman School we are always reminding the children how they can keep themselves safe whether in the real world or in the virtual world. Class teachers regularly use the Zones of Regulation to assess how the children in their classes are feeling. Children are encouraged to share their worries using the ‘What I want my teacher to know boxes’ which are in each Key Stage 2 classrooms and the Worry Monsters which can be found in the Keys Stage 1 Classrooms.

Information to support parents can be found on the school website here.

Please continue to report any safeguarding concerns to Mr Flower (Designated Safeguarding Lead) or Mrs Burnham (Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead).
