To make sure they are noticeable around school, the NJS Guardians of Safety have new lanyards! They are turquoise and yellow and will be worn at playtimes, so anyone at school can recognise them and go to them for help, advice or support.

5W class assembly – reminder
Reminder that 5W’s class assembly will be on Thursday 2nd February at 2.30pm for any parents/carers who would like to watch.
Guardians of Safety: What is bullying?
Following all our work on anti-bullying week last term, our NJS Guardians of Safety have been working really hard to promote information about bullying.
We have created some videos explaining what bullying is, and showing some examples of things that could happen which either are or are NOT bullying.
NJS takes any accusations of bullying very seriously, but it is important that we know the difference between fall-outs, unkind behaviour, and bullying. Bullying is when someone is targeted repeatedly.
Whether it is classed as bullying or not, at NJS we follow our behaviour policy for victims and perpetrators and ensure that they are both supported in the necessary way. This usually means events are recorded on our school system, appropriate staff are made aware, parents/carers notified and sanctions are given where appropriate (such as loss of playtime).
Please watch and learn from our videos:

This is a useful pack published by the anti-bullying alliance for parents.

Anti-bullying week… Who can I reach out to at NJS?
The Guardians of Safety are a pupil group who focus on the safety and wellbeing of everyone at NJS. On Tuesday, The Guardians of Safety presented an assembly to the whole school about bullying. They reminded everyone what bullying is and what bullying isn’t. They also reminded the children of all the people at NJS that they can go to for help and support.
Well done and thank you, Guardians of Safety!
