Newman School is a community special school which offers a specialist range of provision to support children and young people with physical disabilities, medical needs and complex learning needs.

We aim to create an environment that is warm, free from inhibiting pressures yet has the capability to be challenging.

Headteacher's Statement

As the new Headteacher of a very Special School I thank you for visiting Newman school website, we need as many people engaged with special schools as possible. So if you are a parent or family member join the network through Facebook and Twitter. We have been here educating pupils with additional needs for 70 years and with you out there we will continue for another 70 (at least).

It's taken a while but we have the final figure for the fundraising at the Christmas Fayre. £1283.34! WOW!

Of course we couldn't have managed this figure without the generous help and support of so many; parents, staff, our local community, organisations and businesses. A massive thank you to everyone who donated a fantastic prize, Barnsley Football Club, Simply Skate Arena, SIV: The Health and Wellbeing Charity, Play Valley, Cannon Hall Farm, Schools Advisory Service, Rotherham United Football Club/Rotherham United Community Sports Trust, McVities & Crystal Peaks Shopping Mall & Retail Park.

Apologies if we missed anyone off the list, we tried our best to keep track of all the donations we received. Again, a huge thank you for your continued support, it makes a real difference to our young people.

Check out some of our pupils on the radio. Our young people helped to create and broadcast a 1hr special on RedRoad FM.
