Thursday 20th July will be ‘Year 6 Leavers Day’ with a range of activities planned for Year 6 to mark their last week at NJS.

The day will run as follows:

9am: Leavers Church Service at St Nicholas’ Church.  This is a whole school service. Year 6 parents and carers only are able to attend and we ask that this is limited to a maximum of 2 per Year 6 pupil.

Back in school the children will have the opportunity to have their shirts signed!  Please send the children with a spare item of NJS uniform that you are happy for them to have signed by staff and friends.  Please can children bring a Sharpie or other appropriate pen for them to be able to do this.

Leavers Lunch: Year 6 will be deciding the lunch menu with the catering team!  The menu will be announced soon!  This menu will apply to the whole school.

3.30-5pm: Leavers Party! All Year 6 pupils are invited to a Leavers Party with the NJS staff team.  The children can bring a change of clothing (this should include trainers and comfortable clothing) for this party.  The children will take part in activities they have chosen with staff members and then be treated to chips and ice cream for a party tea!

During open evening on Thursday our wonderful PTA will be selling pre loved uniform for donations (50p-£2).  Please do take the opportunity to purchase uniform ahead of September.

If you have an pre loved uniform to donate to school we would be very grateful and it can be brought to the office at any time.

We have an abundance of Lost Property in our red bin.

You can access the Lost Property bin at the side of the office.

We will make the Lost Property bin readily available outside the office during Open Evening should you wish to check for any items!

Just some useful reminders for those of you who are already thinking ahead to what children will need for September:

NAMING ITEMS!

Please ensure all items that are brought to school are named! You can do this with a pen or if you use the company below a % will go to our PTA:

UNIFORM

A copy of our uniform policy: Uniform Policy   Please remember that we understand costs are high and our uniform policy does allow items to be purchased that do not display the school logo.  We also have a great supply of pre loved uniform that will be on sale during our Open Evening if you would like to purchase (items 50p-£2 each).

PE kit is also detailed in this policy.

WATER BOTTLES

We do ask that a water bottle is brought to school each day.

SCHOOL BAGS

Must fit into a locker!  Please ensure they are no larger than an average backpack.

STATIONERY

If your child can bring to school a pencil case with some stationery this will help us and them to ensure they have what they need at all times.  In their pencil case we recommend: pencils, blue biro, ruler, rubber, sharpener and glue stick.  Please name everything!

SWIMMING KIT

All children will require a swimming kit: costume/trunks, towel and swimming cap.

BEECH’s BASE

All children will visit Beech’s Base once a half term.  On this day they will be required to wear old clothes (they are very likely to get muddy!) that have long sleeves and full length.  They need to have waterproofs and wellies too.

Huge thank you to our outstanding NJS staff team who have offered a super menu of clubs, for free, this term.  They are amazing offering their time and skills to benefit our children.

Clubs have now finished for the Summer Term and will return at the end of September.

If you visit Newport Show tomorrow please remember to support NJS:
