NJS Spring Club Provision!
Please find below details of the clubs for the Spring Term which will commence from the 30th January!
These clubs will be available on Parent Pay from 12pm on Wednesday 18th January for you to sign up your children.
Please can we remind you:
*If your child attended Cooking Club in the Autumn Term spaces this term are for children who have not yet attended. We therefore ask that you do not take a place.
*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 club collection is from the gates onto the main playground closest to Avenue Road South. Staff will bring your child here for dismissal.
SEND coffee afternoon Spring term
Join us at our Spring term coffee afternoon on Monday 6th February at 2.30pm
Bicycles and Scooters
At NJS we actively encourage our children to walk, cycle or scoot to school: it is great exercise and also saves local traffic.
We do ask that our children dismount their bicycle/scooter as soon as they leave Avenue Road. I am sure everyone appreciates how busy it can be on school site at drop off and pick up times. We ask children not to ride their bicycles and scooters on school site at these times to reduce the risk of collision.
Please can I ask that you support us in reminding your children to dismount as soon as they arrive at our gates.

Thank you for your understanding.
Spotify Alert
We have been made aware by our Online Safety Training provider that they are aware of some issues with messages being exchanged on the Spotify APP by creating playlists with the title being the message they wish to send which can include photographs.
As with all APPs and online platforms we strongly advise you ensure you have Parental controls in place, that your children go online when you are able to monitor their usage in the room and that you regularly discuss keeping safe with them.
In school we have a robust online safety curriculum and are constantly updating this to respond to the latest technology and risks.
NJS Office
