Well done Logan and Faye!

We have had an email about our home learning slides asking for them not to be in colour due to printing.

Please can we remind you that we discourage printing to save paper.  We also use colour on our home learning as some SEND pupils struggle to read black on white.

Staff are trying and unfortunately in the circumstances we work in we can’t make it ‘perfect’ for all.  We appreciate your support and understanding that we are trying our very best.

We are an incredibly lucky NJS Team with a wonderfully supportive school community.  We have been overwhelmed over recent weeks with your messages of thanks and support and we are really grateful to you.

As we increase our use of social media and online forums please can I remind everyone in our school family of the importance of respect online.  Please be polite to staff members and other users at all times.  If we maintain effective and respectful use then our opportunities will continue to grow.

Thank you all.

We are continuing to work hard to try to chase the Free School Meals vouchers through the national system.  We believe many of you have now received your first set of vouchers and the system shows the second set are due imminently.

Please know we are as frustrated as you with this system and we are doing our very best.  Thank you for your continued support.
