Welcome to the Primary Section of Newton British Academy's new VLE (Virtual Learning Environment)
We have created this page to ensure that we communicate effectively with you the parents and to help for a better working relationship. This is an exciting development for NBA and we are sure this will give you greater insight into your child's journey through primary school.
From October 14th, each Year Group will have a tab located on the toolbar at the top of this page. This will take you directly to the homepage where important information about the week ahead will be shared. Additionally, on this page you will find information about what your child is learning each week at NBA and the homework assigned to your child along with deadlines and due dates. There will also be links to educational websites that you and your child can use to supplement work done in school.

This page will contain important year group notices as well as sharing information about what your children are currently studying in their classes. This will allow greater ownership and involvement in your child's education at home effectively.
The main function of the page will be to share the homework activities that have been set. They will be uploaded under clear headings and can be downloaded if needed by clicking on the arrow at the top right of the document.
In addition, the page will contain online activities to reinforce basic Literacy and Numeracy skills. This is a major upgrade in the way we communicate with you and will have a positive impact on the way our school functions.
Homework will be uploaded and available from 13.30 every Thursday and the curriculum overview will be refreshed with the children's current learning objectives highlighted in yellow for your reference.
To navigate to your child's year group page please scroll your mouse over the primary link on the tool bar at the top of your page and a drop down menu of year groups will appear for selection.
Our French department will have their own pages in Key Stage 2 which can be navigated to from a button at the top of the year group page.
