We expect children to attend school each day and to be on time. Lateness disrupts the lesson for other children and is taken very seriously at New City. The school has a policy of telephoning families on the first day of absence to see why your child is not in school.
This policy is in place to keep your child safe. To avoid the need to call you, we ask all parents to ring the school if your child is not well.
The School Day
The school day begins at 8:25 when a bell is rung and the children are brought into school by their class teacher.

Currently school dinners are free for all primary school children in Newham. There is a choice of menu and a wide variety of food types available. Halal meat and vegetarian options are available every day and children with special dietary needs can be provided for. Please come to see us and we will discuss this with you further. Drinks are provided and children are encouraged to eat a healthy balanced diet. Children staying with a packed lunch may bring a drink. Please do not send children to school with cans or glass containers.
On our website are a range of policies that will help and guide you including our uniform and attendance policies. Our newsletter each week will keep you updated with regards to the school menu and events taking place in the school.
