SCHOOL NEWS
MP Visits Villa Real School
Posted 30th September
Today Liz Twist, MP for Blaydon and Consett came to look round the school. She was keen to see how we support children, and what further support we needed. It was lovely to show her all the work being done in classes, whilst also explaining how we could do even more with more space and facilities. We are seeking support from all regarding our current DFE bid for a new building.
Dads That Dig Event
Updated 8th October
Our next parental engagement event will take place from 9:45am-12pm on Thursday 10th October. We will be inviting into school Dads and Male Carers to help with some Ground Work in the Forest School Garden area to begin the development of a new path going across the area.
​
Spades and shovels can be provided, but please feel free to bring your own along with a pair of gloves as this will be quite heavy manual outdoor groundwork. Drinks and refreshments will be provided on the morning and even if you can only commit an hour of your time that would be most helpful and good of you to come into school to help us.
