Weekly Headteacher Newsletters
The Headteacher personally sends (email, text & X Post) a weekly update on what’s happening in school to support our families. All these are located in the Half-Term drop-down boxes below.
Families are responsible for informing us if their details have changed or if they notice they are not receiving our (very) regular communication home.
Academy X Account @NewsomeAcademy
In addition to the weekly updates we use X to post daily updates on what’s happening around our wonderful Academy. The Headteacher also posts videos and images for those who want a greater insight into our school life. For those families that don’t want/have the X App, the posts are fed directly onto our newsfeed which is located at the very bottom of our homepage. Our official X account is: @NewsomeAcademy
