Hi Mums

Wondering if there are any mums from Beckenham (particularly near Eden Park/Elmers End) who would be interested in discussing getting girls to and from school, and perhaps meeting up and letting the girls get to know each other beforehand?

Tks x

There are lots of girls that go from Beckenham Junction and Kent House. Could your daughter get the bus and then the train if you’re near Elmer End? My 2020 starter will be walking to Beckenham Junction and getting the train. My older daughter and her friends all enjoy the journey. There’s a huge pack of them and they spend the whole journey gossiping!

Hi - yes my DD will start Sept 2020 and will
Get the train from Kent house 7.47 am I think .
Will that hook up to the same group at Beckenham junction?
It would be great to meet up - we know another girl that will start this year and go from shortlands probably

Hi Motherhubbard & Beck_mum,

Thanks for posting -

Would be great to meet. @Motherhubbard - is this your first daughter at Newstead? We can't really get to Beck Junction - but would still be good to meet.

Yes - first daughter to go to Newstead . As I say, she will probably get the train from Kent house each morning but hoping that will be the train that many other girls will also get along the route. How will your DD be getting there?

Hi all - just wondering if anyone knew what might be happening regarding induction sessions for Sept 2020 girls ?

Hi MotherHubbard, in the Head's update of 15th May Mr Blount said 'Our Year 7 Induction will also take place online', if your daughter is joining the school, do take a read as they give you a real flavour of what is going on: https://www.newsteadwood.co.uk/news-and ... ads-update

Not ideal, but the school are working really hard on so many things at present and doing it well.

Thanks Pettswoodfiona.
I can’t seem to access the May newsletter. The website only seems to go up to April. Nevertheless we have the invitations to the induction sessions and a welcome pack arrived this week. .

Unhelpfully the links are not in date order, it is the second from bottom, deep link to the 15th May Newsletter here: https://www.newsteadwood.co.uk/portals/ ... 091612-880
