Resource Base for Deaf Children Build Project Update
Thu 02 Nov 2023We are delighted that SCC and Darcy’s Construction are almost ready to hand over Stage 1 of the brand new Resource Base for Deaf Children (Owls Base) building extension to us. Stage 1 is the building, contents and the external pathway. We do not have a firm date but it should be in the next week or so!
Stage 2 - the grounds/trees/grass/woodchip path etc - will handover at a later date as the grounds need time to be redeveloped and grow. This means the large hoarding/wall will remain in place for a good few months yet.
Have a look at the latest photos of the almost finished project...

Sad news about a long serving school governor
Mon 30 Oct 2023We have to start the half term by sharing some very sad news that one of our long serving governors, Michael Clarke, passed away last week, after a long battle with cancer.
Mike had been a governor at Newlands since autumn 2012 and was a true ‘friend to Newlands’; as well as stepping up to be the Chair of Governors for some years when I first became the Headteacher here. He was a favourite smiling face at many Merit assemblies and school events during that time - infamous for shaking hands with children as they queued up to go in!
I have passed on our condolences on behalf of the school and governors to his family. We are currently thinking about how we can mark his service to Newlands and honour his memory with the children in the long term and will share this information once decided.
