Survey for Parents

We have set up a very short survey for parents to share their children's experience of learning at Cardinal Newman.  It is online and can be accessed here.

The survey results will be valued by the Senior Leadership team and used to inform decisions in school.  The survey is anonymous, so if you want to raise any particular issue, please do talk to school rather than writing it in the survey so that we can follow up and help you to solve the issue.

The survey will be open from now for the coming ten days.  Please do respond - even if you're completely happy with everything your child is learning.

Cardinal Newman staff are running the Weybridge 10k!

We have a team of staff who are preparing to take part in the Weybridge 10K running event on Sunday 4^th December.  We are raising money for the Arundel and Brighton Diocese pilgrimage fund which supports those who wish to be part of the annual pilgrimage to Lourdes. It is our intention that members of our Cardinal Newman community will join the pilgrimage next summer, this will be open to families in our school. Further details will follow soon but please visit the website to discover more:

Therefore, we would like to invite you to make a donation to the fund via Scopay and support our team of staff who will running 10km in December. Thank you.
