Diabetes Awareness Month
On the 30th November we will be raising awareness for diabetes, on the last day of diabetes awareness month.
Children and staff are welcomed to wear a blue item with their uniform on this date e.g. a blue hair bobble, socks, t shirt etc. There is no charge, this is to raise awareness.
Wow! Well done NJS and Henshalls Insurance Brokers
Annually Henshalls Insurance Brokers ask Art Club to produce a Christmas display for their High Street window and of course we are very happy to help!
Thank you to Art Club and staff members who have produced this excellent art work for display in our community. Thank you to Henshalls Insurance Brokers for the opportunity.

NJS Clubs
NJS clubs have now finished this week for the Autumn Term.
Well done to all of the children who have engaged in a club this half term: we hope they have enjoyed pursuing an interest alongside NJS staff.
NJS clubs are unique as they are completely free of charge and led by our own team. I’d like to express my thanks to the staff team who have led clubs this term. They have given their own time to this offer which shows their commitment to our NJS children.
Look out for details in January of our Spring Term club offer!

IMPORTANT: Year 6 Whats App
We recommend that where children have access to social media apps that parents/carers regularly check the content of messages exchanged and who with to ensure their child is safe.
Please can we ask Year 6 parents/carers to check their child’s Whats App groups that you are aware of the content of what your child is saying to others and who they are communicating with.
Please can we remind you about guidance on Whats App:
