I was recently asked to complete a review of our caretaking and cleaning team for some promotional materials and was only too happy to do so: they are AMAZING!

Thank you to the Caretaking and Cleaning Team for all they do for our school environment.

Thank you to parent volunteers who have this week helped children and families to reclaim their lost property.  We really do appreciate your support.

PLEASE can we encourage families to ensure all items of uniform, water bottles, lunchboxes… anything coming to school is NAMED.  If named we can easily return items to you.

I just wanted to express my thanks to everyone for their ongoing support for NJS during another busy term.  The children, as always, have been wonderful and we are grateful for the ongoing partnership with our families.

Thank you to the NJS team who routinely go above and beyond for the wellbeing, learning and memory making provision that our school offers.

I hope that everyone has a great Easter break with quality time with family and friends.  I look forward to seeing you on the 28th April.

Take care

Paper copies were sent home a couple of weeks ago and a further copy is attached below.

The children who attended this visit were EXCEPTIONAL.  Their behaviour, enthusiasm, team work… everything was super.  We are very proud of them all and they were a pleasure to take on a residential visit.

The children completed a range of activities including climbing, fencing and a zip line!  I’m told the food was very good (!) and they also had a great time exploring the Quarry in Shrewsbury on the way to Manor Adventure.

There was a bump involving the coaches on the return journey to school.  The children were the priority in this incident and fortunately all were okay.  Please be assured the school do not have concerns about the incident, it was sadly one of those things but we have submitted a full report to the Local Authority to ensure this is logged.  As Headteacher I of course commend the staff who managed this and the care of the children so well.

I am, as always, extremely grateful to the staff team who supported this visit.  They gave their time from their families to enable this visit to go ahead.  Children were cared for and given experiences that will have created a lifetime of memories.

Thank you to families for their support: enabling your children to go on this visit and supporting the school, we are very grateful.
