Burton Borough School have informed us that one of their pupils was approached by a stranger in a white Nissan vehicle this morning on Stafford road. The driver of the vehicle was a male and wearing a black/green army cap. The pupil reported this to staff at school straight away and it has been reported to the police.

For NJS parents, this is to make you aware and encourage you to be vigilant.

Please remind your child about the rules for keeping safe.
If you see anything suspicious on the school run please make sure that you inform us and the relevant authorities.

Thank you.

We talked in assembly today about Kindness as a power to improve mental health. Being kind to ourselves as well as being kind to others. We talked about the ripple effect of spreading kindness. Children will continue this conversation back in the classrooms later today.

Below is a poster the children will be sharing in class and some top tips to support at home.

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham

Reading Newsletter 41

Our latest Reading Newsletter is bigger than ever! 2026 is still the National Year of Reading where children are encouraged to ‘Go all in!’ and read deeply into an area of interest. There is a new section where children can explore a range of books around a common theme- this time- wolves!

Included also is an expanded section for parents too, with book recommendations for you form our staff and advice for parents on how to encourage children to read more at home.

Thank you,

Mr Rotherham

As part of our newly arranged lunchtime play zones we have an art area.

A request please for any old colouring books- even if they have been begun would be much appreciated. Also, if any parents have old rolls of wallpaper we can use for the art zone, again we would be very grateful.

Thank you.

Mr Rotherham

We need your help! There are plans to make changes to the way our lunchtime play is organised and structured. We are very excited about these changes and I am sure the children will love the new opportunities that will be available once we get started! Mr Lawson and Miss Lockwood have worked hard to plan different fun zones for play, but they are requesting donations to make it possible. If you can help at all, please notify either the school office or Mr Lawson directly. Any donations would be very gratefully received! Thank you.
