This message is for parents information and comes from PC Walker Shale (our Youth Engagement Police Officer) and concerns a very worrying clip on Tik Tok that parents will need to be aware of, knowing that lots of our children use Tik Tok on their devices. The message reads:
“The past couple of nights, my middle daughter has been talking about a clip of a film called Megan is Missing. This morning, I have been alerted by my friends who work in CSE/CCE in West Mids about the TikTok trend surrounding this film. The film is apparently exceedingly violent, and depicts extreme sexual violence as well as torture, captivity and extreme physical abuse of children (girls). My daughter (14) said that several girls she knows are sleeping with their mothers after watching the film clip”.
Thank you,
Mr Rotherham
Please can parents check at home, school bags etc for a missing pair of glasses which belong to child in Yr3. They are quite distinguishable as the lenses are blue in colour. If you find them please could they be returned to the main school office.
Many thanks,
Mr Rotherham
NJS and its community have been saddened by the recent news that Mrs Maureen Beech has passed away. Mrs Beech had been a very special part of our school family since 1985 when her children attended the school.
Mrs Beech started working at Newport Junior School as a lunchtime supervisor and then moved into a roll as a Teaching Assistant in the early 1990’s for another 24 years!
She worked with hundreds of Newport children, who we know will all have fond memories of her. She loved art, craft, cooking and supporting community links; like working with Newport in Bloom and the school choir.
Mrs Beech enjoyed supporting school trips and residential visits, such as trips to London, Malvern and even to the Shetland Islands!
Staff who worked with her will hold many special memories of her kindness and sense of fun. Nothing was ever too much for Mrs Beech and the children adored her. On Shrove Tuesday she would be able to give all the children the chance to cook pancakes and she kept our grounds and gardens looking beautiful, through her work with Green Club.
Mrs Beech was known fondly amongst the staff as ‘Aunty Maur’; we remember her as a very dear friend. We all send our very best wishes to her family at this time.
