We are delighted to offer a range a workshops and information sessions in school over the year. All parents and carers are welcome, and any professionals who are interested can also come along!

At Newfield, we take every opportunity to invite our parents and carers to join us in school.

The Family Wellbeing Coordinators have created a programme of events that includes workshops, courses, information sessions as well as informal coffee morning where you can simply join them for a brew and a chat!

Our schedule for the next academic year is being developed and details of any courses will be outlined below - it is added to throughout the year - so do come back and check regularly.
