Members of our school family are welcome to wear odd socks for World Down Syndrome Day on the 21st March (there is no charge for this, it is a date to raise awareness). This is a global awareness day which NJS will be marking with classroom based activities. More information can be found here: https://www.worlddownsyndromeday.org/
As part of our ongoing efforts to develop Global Citizenship Education in our children, we will be holding a Blue 4 a Loo mufti day on Friday 24th March.
We ask that all children come to school wearing blue clothing for a £1 voluntary donation. All funds raised will go towards our contribution to Toilet Twinning – a campaign to fund toilet blocks in some of the poorest countries across the world.
Our Global Avengers led an assembly this week on the issue, and will be helping to run a series of activities on this day. There will also be a cake sale where all items will be available for voluntary donations.
Our effort links in with our school values of Courage, Community & Compassion and we are excited that our children will be able to play their part in bringing about change for those most in need.

Children and staff enjoyed a fabulous assembly today, led by Mr Lawson, our resident Science expert, on the subject of Solids, Liquids and Gases, watching how they can change state, the theme of this year’s Science Week!

Dear Parents,
I am aware that another holiday club provider who shares the name “Move It” has begun operating within the town. I just wanted to clarify that the provision that I offer is only taking place at Newport Infant School and that the new provision has no connection to my business.
I choose to hold my provision at the Infant School because it offers a secure school site which is familiar to many of the children. All of the facilities are appropriate for primary school age children and as I operate under the conditions of the school lettings policy, I have to meet their stringent Safeguarding procedures and policies. I am fortunate to have had a very positive relationship with the school over many years and we have built up a great deal of trust. I have a loyal, hard-working staff who offer high quality provision.
I did not want anyone to book the new provision thinking that it was part of my business and I hope that you will continue to support me in the future.
Thank you
Beckie Shaw
We have had concerns raised by a neighbour that our parents are parking across resident driveways.
Please can we ask that we are all considerate of our neighbours and do not do this.
As always we ask that if you have to drive to school you park on a local car park (Specsavers, B&M, Shuker Field etc.) and walk from there.
Thank you for your support.
Try and come with a joke ready to share in your House Team Meeting.
Can you make others laugh out loud with your joke?
Due to deliveries not arriving today there is a change of menu tomorrow:
Sausages/vegetarian sausages, wedges/ potato slices, cauliflower and gravy followed by muffins or ice cream.
