Welcome to Newlands Primary School.
I am proud to be at the helm here at Newlands. Proud to work with such fabulous hard-working children, dedicated and creative teachers, caring and committed support staff and honest and supportive parents. Our motto is that we ‘persevere, believe, achieve’ and this forms the basis of The Newlands Way.
We believe that with the good teaching, effective support and sensitive nurture that we provide, helps all our children to enjoy school and achieve their best outcomes. Getting the most out of what school has to offer is the challenge that we set for everyone.
Our ethos is built around a ‘Year of…’ theme which encourages the children to be the best they can be, reflect on their opportunities and develop good mental wellbeing. Over the years we have chosen: a year of peace, of discovery, of respect, of bravery, of knowing me, of kindness and of oracy. Our theme this year is the Year of Being Proud as we want to help all our children to feel a sense of pride in their achievements and progress at Newlands.
We are an inclusive school with both a Nurture Provision – run by our expert SENDCO and a Local Authority Communication Resources Provision. Here at Newlands, we recognise all children as individuals and work hard to meet the needs of all our children. Our children tell us that they feel safe in school and we know that their behaviour is good – children like and respect each other and offer support and encouragement to each other in equal measure.
I am proud to walk through our doors each and every day. If you are a new parent or looking for a school for your child, it would be my pleasure to show you around Newlands so that you can see for yourself how we ‘persevere, believe and achieve’.
I look forward to seeing you.
