Military Kids Club – Thursdays 3.15pm-4pm
This club is open to children who are registered as Service children and for who the school receives Service Pupil Premium funding for. Additionally, children who have an immediate connection to a currently serving member of the Armed Forces can attend, if you feel that this club will support them in any way.
I am a year 4 teacher and have a background in the British Army, where I served for 9 years. I am also a parent of Service children and have dealt (and still deal!) with the impact of Service life on families. The aim of the club is to provide wellbeing support and nurture, as well as completing fun activities as a group of children who all have something in common. Some of our previous activities have included: making poppies for remembrance day, learning the phonetic alphabet, orienteering and team building visits to Beech’s Base.
Children who meet the above criteria can attend the club every Thursday between 3:15-4pm.
If you believe your child/children are entitled to Service Pupil Premium, please see the attached information and contact the school office to confirm your eligibility: njs.admin@taw.org.uk

Summer Term Clubs
Please find below details of the clubs for the Summer Term which will commence from Monday!
These clubs are now available on ParentPay.
Please can we remind you:
*Once you have selected a club on Parent Pay you will have a place. You will have no further contact. If Parent Pay does not display the option to select a club then all spaces have been taken for this term. If you are unsure please contact the office for clarity.
*Please be fair to others in the quantity of clubs you access for your child: we suggest a maximum of two as being sufficient each term.
*Please remember that clubs are FREE at NJS and run by our own staff! This is an EXCEPTIONAL offer and we are extremely grateful to our team for their commitment. In return we ask that each week you check our Facebook page or website for the following week that your club is running (occasionally due to other commitments staff may need to cancel their club). We will never cancel a club on the day: if the club your child is attending cannot run for a ‘last minute’ reason we will find an alternative for your child.
*Please collect your child promptly! All after school club collection is from the gates onto the main playground closest to Avenue Road South. Staff will bring your child here for dismissal.

Lower School Assembly led by Telford Gurdwara
A wonderful experience for lower school today: Indy, from Telford Gurdwara, visited us to lead an assembly on life as a Sikh. This builds on from last year’s visit to the Gurdwara for the current Yr 4s and will give the current Yr 3s, who will be studying Sikhism this term, a brilliant insight into the religion. Our thanks to Indy and his team for helping to to build relationships across faiths in our local community.
Shropshire Library Service
Dear Parents / Carers
