Chair welcome

Dear parents, carers and friends,

On behalf of the Local Academy Committee, I would like to thank you for taking the time to look through our website. We hope you discover all of the information you are looking for and can see that a warm welcome awaits you at Newbold Church of England Primary School.

We are a Christian school and as such our vision for all pupils, regardless of their faith background, is for them to be nurtured and cherished so that they may succeed. These are principles which can be found in the bible:

Nurture

'Encourage one another and build each other up, as indeed you are doing' 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Cherish

'Jesus said, ‘Love one another, just as I have loved you, you should love one another’ John 13:34

Succeed

'Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up' Galatians 6:9

We are a family working and growing together to reach our potential, our Christian faith values are at the heart of all we do each day as a school community. We offer an inclusive learning environment where everyone can experience challenge, enjoyment and respect.

Within a pervading Christian ethos of compassion and love, we promote a culture of excellence, equality and high expectations for all our children, which embodies spiritual growth and lifelong learning in our caring Church of England setting.

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum where our children take enjoyment from learning and every child is encouraged to try their hardest and achieve their best. The excellent staff are experienced and dedicated and work in partnership with parents, children and the wider community to ensure that the children at Newbold receive the best possible experience.

As a Local Academy Committee, our main roles are to:

· Ensure the clarity of vision and ethos within the school

· Hold the school to account for their academic performance

· Make sure the school’s finances are well spent

These functions support the Head and staff at Newbold Church School in the fantastic job they do for our pupils. I am really proud of the level of passion, care and dedication shown by them every day.

We would love to hear from you, whether you are already part of our school community or are considering joining us.

Chair Of the Local Academy Committee
