Important Notice

General Election

As you know, Newsham Primary School is always used as a polling station for elections. Usually, we can use our conference room for this purpose, separate the public from our pupils and keep our school open whilst ensuring all safeguarding procedures are in place.

The election on December 12th is a general election and the conference room will not be large enough to accommodate the additional voting booths or the expected increase in the number of voters coming onto the premises. Our school hall will therefore be used as the polling station and school will be have to be closed to pupils on December 12th.

This is an exceptional circumstance and I know you will appreciate early notification of this closure.

Lunches at Newsham

We operate 2 menus at Newsham. Menu 2 from September to February half term and then Menu 1 from February to July on a 3 weekly rota. To order a lunch we ask you to log on to Live Kitchen. Please supply your email address to the school office to receive a log on email in order to do this. Pupils then check in at the kitchen hatch to receive the lunch they have ordered. You can preorder weeks in advance.

Live Kitchen accepts all major cards or you can set up a direct debit. Lunches cost £2.30 per day. £11.50 per week.

Please see the leaflet for more information.
