Please can we remind families that we urgently require updated Home School Agreement forms be returned to school with your contact details on so we can check we have the latest information for your child.

Thank you for your support.

The school admin team are working hard to set up the ParentPay accounts for new starters to NJS: activation letters will be with you asap!  In the meantime please don’t worry: school meals can be paid for once you have activated!

Please can we ask that you support the school by keeping school meal accounts in credit on Parent Pay.  Once you fall the equivalent of three meals into arrears we may contact you to chase for urgent payment.

If you believe you may be entitled to Free School Meals please apply here: https://www.telford.gov.uk/info/20028/school_meals/9/free_school_meals

A reminder that class meetings will be held on Monday, 9th September, at 3.30pm and 4pm in classrooms.

These meetings are an opportunity to see your child’s classroom, meet their teacher and get an overview of information for this year.

You are welcomed to attend either session.

Your child can of course attend with you: we ask they come into the classroom with you and do not play outside.

Please make your own way into your child’s classroom for 3.30pm or 4pm.  The front security gate will be open for access in and out of school (gates on the main playground will be locked)

If you cannot attend please do not worry as the information will be sent out via the website.

We won’t be setting homework this week!  The children need time to get back into routine!

Just to make you aware what to expect from us for homework…

Children will have homework books to complete their tasks in.  Teachers will share homework via the website… it can be found in the Classroom Pages in the Homework section.  Teachers will let you know when homework is due in.

Local swim school Puddle Ducks North West Midlands & South Cheshire currently run baby and preschool classes in our school swimming pool for 0-4 years on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings, Friday evenings and all day Sunday. Their gentle, structured, child-led approach provides the perfect opportunity to bond and nurture your child’s love for water, to learn an essential life skill which lasts forever.

In September they will be launching classes on Wednesday and Thursday evenings teaching their Swim Academy programme for 4 years+. These classes are a natural progression from their baby and preschool lessons and are taught in small ratios of 1 teacher per 4 swimmers. The classes are suitable for beginners and the focus is on water confidence, basic water safety and the foundation skills for independent swimming.

Swimming is a journey, not a destination and their lessons allow the swimmers to learn and have fun in order to progress and build confidence at their own pace.

For more information, contact Puddle Ducks North West Midlands on 01925 393193 or email nwmidlands@puddleducks.com
