Well it's that time of year again; (Where does the time go?) the time when we vote in our Head and Deputy Head Boys and Girls. The competition was fierce, this year. Many of our Year 6 children prepared speeches in the initial stages of the selection process. Thank you to you all for your wonderful efforts.
It was really great to listen to the short - listed candidates, who delivered some pretty impressive speeches to try to win the coveted title of Head Boy or Girl here at Newfold. We enjoyed listening to each and every one of you.
The speeches were done, and it was then time for our children to vote for their favourite. The candidates campaigned all week. 'Vote for me' posters started to appear around school and flyers were handed out. One candidate even had his own blog! Wow!
The votes were in. Mrs Yates had the nerve-wrecking job of counting them up, before the winners were finally announced in assembly on Monday morning - September 21st.
And the winners are...
Jack and Angel

The Deputy Head Boy and Girl are...
Joseph and Robyn
And how do they all feel to be awarded these exciting roles at Newfold? Well we asked them and this is what they said.
Jack - Head Boy
I felt amazed. Before Year 6, I had been dreaming of becoming Head Boy. When Mr Edge read my name out, I was shocked that I got the role. I want to learn everybody's name so we can talk and discuss ideas. I would also like to help the school to become an even better place. I will work with Joseph to try to put a smile on everybody's face.
Angel - Head Girl
I am as happy as can be to be your new Head Girl. To the people who voted for me, I am so grateful. It has made me more determined. I would like to introduce 'Learning Buddies'. People can team up to help each other to learn. It's a real honour to be your Head Girl and well done to all of the other candidates.
Joseph - Deputy Head Boy
I was excited and felt different. I want to help all children to enjoy Newfold. I want to be one of the best (Deputy) Head Boys.
Robyn - Deputy Head Girl
I was amazed. I didn't think I would get it. Thank you to everyone who voted for me.
Well done Guys! We look forward to seeing you in action, over the coming year.
