NEWFEST 2025 Raises Over £2,000 at School Summer Festival

NEWFEST 2025 proved to be another successful event for Newfield Park Primary Academy as the school welcomed pupils, families and local residents to its annual summer festival.

Held in June, the event featured live music from the school choir, a series of solo performances, and a wide range of activities and stalls. Highlights of the day included a ‘Splat the Teacher’ game, bouncy castles and local vendors selling cakes, jewellery and collectable items.

The festival, organised by the school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA), raised £2,042. A portion of the money will be used to install new SMARTboard screen in classrooms across the school.

One parent commented: “Another lovely NEWFEST this afternoon. The children are all so polite, always saying please and thank you. You could see on their faces how happy and excited they were with all the activities put on for them – as were the parents!

“A great event as ever. Thank you!”

The school praised the PTA for its work in delivering another well-run event, which continues to be a key fixture in the school calendar.
