TARDIS (Tarleton and Rural District Schools)

Newburgh C.E. Primary School is proud to be a member of the TARDiS cluster of schools.

Here at Newburgh, we believe that through collaboratively working with other schools, we can strengthen what we do and the outcomes for our children. The cluster works together to improve educational outcomes for local children in a variety of ways which include:

Events for pupils
Joint training for teachers and other staff
Focusing on local issues together
Sharing good practice

The TARDiS family, spear- headed by a Headteacher's network, collaborate on strategic improvement aims for the benefit of the pupils.

The cluster works to enhance opportunities for local children in a variety of ways, these include:

Sharing good practice across or family of schools and focusing on local issues/priorities.
Organising a programme of enrichment activities throughout the year which offer challenge, develop confidence and celebrate achievements across the broader curriculum (for example, STEM days, Spelling Bees, Performing Arts Festivals, Public Speaking events etc).
Through our sub-committee, TASA (the TARDiS Active Schools Alliance), we organise a comprehensive range of opportunities for children to take part in competitive and non-competitive physical activity - increasing participation and promoting health and fitness.

Wilton House Farm Shop

We are fortunate to have a wonderful farm shop near school who we work in partnership with. In 2023-2024 all children grew both a sunflower seed and a pumpkin seed at school. The sunflowers were taken home to grow in gardens; the pumpkins went back to the farm to be grown in their fields and our Eco-Council visited every week to check the progress of growth. All children were then gifted a pumpkin in October. We continue to forge strong links with the farm, visiting regularly to buy vegetables for children to use in school/nursery activities.
