We have received complaints from the residents of St Nicholas’ Park about parents parking there for school drop off and collection.  On occasions residents driveways and junctions have been blocked.

Please can I ask that we are all courteous to our neighbours and make safe and appropriate arrangements for school drop off and collection.

Where possible we ask families walk, scoot or cycle to school.  Where it is necessary to drive we ask you use a local car park (e.g. Shuker, Waitrose, Specsavers) and walk from there.

Thank you for your support.

Have a super weekend – I hope this weather continues!

Mr M

As shared several times since June residential visits are on ParentPay today.  Please see a reminder of the information below.

Please can I confirm that families in current receipt of Free School Meals are entitled to financial support in line with the Funding Strategy you can see on our website.

If you have been unable to select a place on ParentPay please email njs.admin@taw.org.uk and they will add you to the waiting list.  Please clearly state in this email your child’s name, class and the residential you request.

Best wishes

Mrs Moody

Parents/Carers

On the 24th September residential visits will be made available on ParentPay.

Below are letters with some details, additional to those shared in your class meetings, about the visits and payment plans.

Please note: deposits are non refundable should you withdraw your child from a visit.  Please be confident your child wishes to attend the visit before applying on ParentPay.  We hope we have supported you by making you aware of the visit costs since June and also offering payment plans.  If you need any further support please contact Mrs Moody.

If you need any further information about the visits and activities involved to be able to make a decision please contact your class teacher or Mr Moody.

All parents/carers will be asked to sign a Residential Code of Conduct once places are allocated on ParentPay. This is a sample of this: SAMPLE Residential Code of Conduct

The staff and governors at Newport CE Junior School are very proud of the residential offer.  We believe they offer great opportunities to enable our children to flourish.  I am very grateful to the commitment of staff members who enable these visits to go ahead.

Thank you, as always, for your support.

Have a lovely weekend!

Mr M

For example: change your school trousers for your jeans or denim shorts or your white polo shirt for a blue t shirt!

Please find below details of the clubs for the Autumn Term which will commence from 29th September.

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 after school clubs as being sufficient each term (if you sign up for more than two we will delete your selection and contact you to start again).

*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.

Thank you for your support.
