11th September 2015 Dear Parents/Carers, NACE Award I am absolutely delighted to inform you that Newton Farm School has received the NACE Challenge Award for provision of more able and talented pupils. The National Association for More Able Children in Education have assessed the work that Newton Farm School does with its more able pupils and has congratulated us on receiving the award for the third time. This means that were are celebrating a decade of success. We have been informed that we are the fourth school in the country to have received this award for the third time. This is indeed a tremendous achievement for our school and I would like to thank all the staff, pupils and parents for their continued support in this area. My particular thanks go to Mrs Radia who has been the leader and champion for promoting provision for more able pupils over a period of ten years. She has worked very hard to develop this area within our school. Class Names As the school grows in size we have decided to name each of the classes according to a tree. Since our school emblem is a tree we felt that it was pertinent to keep this theme which supports growth and development of every individual at Newton Farm School. The following information gives you the allocation of class names: Year Group NURSERY REC Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4 Y5 Y6 Class Name NAM NPM ELM ASH OAK ELDER PINE CEDAR WILLOW ASPEN MAPLE Teacher Name Mrs Hilbocus Mrs Hilbocus Miss Mehta Miss Coutts Miss Vaghela Miss Pederson Mrs Shah Mrs Bush Miss Choksi Mrs Majeed Miss Burgess We look forward to a fruitful and production term. Thank you for your continued support. Yours faithfully, Rekha Bhakoo (Mrs) CBE Headteacher
