Little sparks have magic moments

Newton Poppleford Primary School provides a caring environment in which we set high standards of teaching and learning for all our children in all activities. We encourage them to take pride in their own achievements, and in those of others. With our enthusiastic and friendly staff, outstanding school status, excellent academic performance, extensive grounds and beautiful surroundings, we can provide the ideal start for children to develop and thrive.

...to everyone who purchased their Christmas Tree from Sidmouth Garden Centre using the Christmas Tree Voucher Scheme (you may recall vouchers were sent home in the autumn term). We have just received a cheque for £50 for school funds. Once again thank you for your support.

Class HC will be having their class assembly @ 9.10am on Friday 12th February. All parents from Class HC are welcome to attend.

As you know we invited all the children to come to school in their casual clothes last Friday (29th Feb), for a small donation towards the Haiti disaster fund.
The grand total raised is : £295.00!
Thank you for your support - your generosity is amazing - we will pay it into the appeal fund this week.

Controlling Outbreaks in Schools
Further to guidelines received from the Local Authority we wish to advise parents that should children contract diarrhoea and/or sickness they should remain off school until they have been symptom free for 48 hours. Thank you.

Children from Years 4, 5 and 6 took the Primary Mathematics Challenge run by the Mathematical Association. They had to answer 25 problem solving type questions in 45 minutes and it was not for the feint hearted!!

The children seemed to really enjoy the challenge and well done to all who took part.

It is good to celebrate the high standard of mathematic ability within the school.
