Please be reassured that the first couple of weeks of the term will be spent focusing on our Recovery Curriculum.  We want to make sure that the children are comfortable and settled back in school and have formed/reformed relationships with each other and the staff.  We want to prioritise their mental health and wellbeing so that they are in the best place to move forward with their academic learning.  Please find attached more information:

The Newport Junior School Recovery Curriculum 2020 Parental Letter

We are looking forward to seeing our school family and will be doing our very best to ensure the children are happy and safe in school.

The social stories attached may help to reassure your child ahead of the return next week:

Please find attached the school dinner menu for the first half of the Autumn Term:

Temporary September 2020 NJS Dinner Menu

Children can order a school dinner on the day; their teacher will ask them each morning whether they are a ‘packed lunch’ or ‘school dinner’ so numbers can be sent to the kitchen.

We request that meals are paid for online at: https://www.telford.gov.uk/info/20028/school_meals/8/pay_for_school_meals   You will require your child’s reference number to do this.  If you do not have this number please email lynne.stanley@taw.org.uk with your child’s name, date of birth and class and she will contact you with this on our return.

If your circumstances have changed and you believe you may be entitled to Free School Meals please complete the online application form which can be found here: https://www.telford.gov.uk/info/20028/school_meals/9/free_school_meals
