I hope you are all well and the children have had a positive start to Year 6.

I am aware that Secondary entrance tests are coming up and wanted to email to explain what we need as a school.

If your child will be absent to view a Secondary school or to take an entrance test please inform us by emailing njs.admin@taw.org.uk so we are aware of the circumstances. Please detail the reason e.g. which school you are visiting/taking a test for and the times your child will be absent from NJS.

I am aware that entrance tests on the 16th September are either first thing or late morning…

If your child is taking the test in session 1 we usually suggest they return to school before or at 1pm so they can join afternoon lessons at NJS. If you don’t feel this appropriate for your child please just let us know.

If your child is taking the test in session 2 we appreciate it’s tricky for food etc and so support whatever decision you make i.e. your child could come into school first and then be collected or could remain at home.

I hope this makes sense and helps you to decide how to organise the arrangements for your child to be comfortable with Secondary entrance tests.

Take care

Mrs M
