I have been overwhelmed with messages and words of support from our families today: this means a lot to school staff at this time as we all rise to new challenges, thank you.

Working together to keep our school family safe and to provide the very best for our children continues to be our priority and we thank you for your support.

Please can we politely request that parents and carers DO NOT congregate at our school gates.  When you exit site please move away immediately.

It is essential to the safety of our school family that we respect the guidance set out for us.

Dear Parents and Carers

As you are aware we enter into a new phase of National ‘restrictions’ from tomorrow.  On behalf of everyone at NJS we hope that all of our families remain safe and well.  Schools remain open throughout this period and we will be working very hard to ensure school remains a safe place for staff and children. School attendance remains compulsory.

There are some updates to make you aware of and that we do expect your support with:

*Parents and carers MUST wear a mask at school drop off and pick up.

*Parents and carers MUST follow the one way systems and move swiftly on and off site to drop off your child.  Please DO NOT stop on school site: children should have everything they need and be immediately left in a morning.  In the afternoon please do not approach your child they will be sent to you.

*You must maintain 2m distance between you and all other parents at all times.

*Guidance remains that children of Primary age do not need masks in school.  If children wear a mask into school we will ask they remove it and store it in their bag until the end of the day.

*Please DO NOT stop to have a conversation with any staff members at any time.  Please communicate with us by telephone or email.  A reminder of our email addresses:

Please can I remind all parents and carers to keep 2m apart at all times in order to protect our school family.

Please can I ask ALL parents to drop their child within their allotted time and then leave school promptly.  Please do not wait to watch your child hand wash or to have a conversation with staff as we need to maintain movement of people and keep our school staff safe.  If you need to share a message please feel welcome to do so by email or telephone; staff will happily communicate with you.

Thank you for your support.

Please remember individual school photographs will be taken during the school day on Monday.

Please can we urge all of our families to maintain social distancing (2m+) on the school drop off and pick up.  This is essential for keeping you safe at these times of the day.

Where possible please walk to school.

Thank you for your support.

Please can we ask for your support:

If your child, or a member of the household is symptomatic then the household MUST isolate until a test result is received.  Your child MUST NOT attend for school.  COVID symptoms: persistent cough, high temperature or loss of taste or smell.

If your child is required to isolate as a contact of a positive COVID case then please advise school immediately so we can record this.  Your child MUST NOT attend for school if they are required to isolate.

If either of the above currently applies to you please ensure you have informed nicola.moody@taw.org.uk before Monday.

Thank you for your support in keeping our school family safe.
