Children in Need.
This year the school council decided that we would all wear odd socks, odd shoes and come to school in non-uniform. We collected over £250.
We also held a raffle for 3 Pudsey Bears, kindly donated by Mrs K Williams. This raised £75 which is being donated to 'Dream and Wishes'.

Hallowe'en Disco

We held our school Hallowe'en disco on Thursday 25th October. See our 'Gallery' page for some excellent pictures.

Harvest. October 2012.

Thank-you for your extremely kind donations for our school Harvest celebration. All donations go to Ty Danescourt.

Ty Danescourt is a charity providing supported housing for young people aged 16-21 years old.

Ty Danescourt provides much needed, semi-supported accommodation with young people being given the opportunity and freedom to manage their own lives but still have access to staff support for those crisis/emergency times.

Email. We encourage parents to receive correspondence from school via email. If you have an email address we would be pleased to add you to our emailing list. You may send your email address to your child's teacher, email Mrs J Herbert our school administrator at newtonprimaryschool@bridgend.gov.uk or complete the submission form below.
