Year 6 children attending Burton Borough tomorrow and Wednesday can wear their Primary School PE kit.

BBS children are wearing PE kit this week due to warm weather.

Please remember your white t-shirts next week year 6!

Please find below everything that is happening in year 6 next week.

When it’s your child’s new school transition day/s, they must go straight to that school. Please do not come to NJS first! Please ensure they are wearing full NJS uniform-no leaver’s hoodies.

Have a great weekend!

There is an important update today from the Department for Education regarding SAT results which we were expecting on Tuesday (7th July).  The statement from them to schools is copied below.

We will now not receive the SAT results until the 16th July.  If we successfully receive them on this date we will share them with you on the 16th or 17th July.  We will of course update you.

We will therefore send end of year Reports home with the children on Monday.  These will include Teacher Assessments but not your child’s SAT results: these will be to follow.

Mrs Moody

Dear colleagues,

I am writing to let you know about a change to the timetable for the release of Key Stage 2 test results this year.

Schools were due to receive their results on 7 July 2026. However, results will now be available on 16 July 2026. As a result, the deadline for schools to apply for reviews of marking or clerical errors will move back to 24 July 2026.

I appreciate that schools have been waiting for these results and that this delay will be frustrating. I also recognise that for schools in Leicester and Leicestershire, this means that results will not be returned until after the end of the summer term. I therefore wanted to write to you directly to explain what has happened and provide reassurance about the results themselves.

Pearson Education Limited, the contractor responsible for the end-to-end administration of the Key Stage 2 tests, has informed us that additional time is needed to ensure the online results portal is ready for schools to access results. The delay relates to the readiness of the system used to make results available to schools.

Importantly, this delay is not due to any concerns about the quality of the tests or the accuracy of results. Test papers have been marked in line with usual processes and the standards maintenance process, which ensures results remain comparable with previous years, has been completed. The Standards and Testing Agency is confident in the quality and accuracy of the results that schools will receive.
I recognise that schools will be frustrated by this delay. I am frustrated too. Schools, pupils and parents should be able to rely on results being delivered on time, and it is unacceptable that this standard has not been met. Pearson has rightly taken full responsibility for the delay and apologised to schools and families.

My priority is now getting results to schools as quickly as possible, and my department is playing an active role in resolving the technical failings that Pearson has overseen.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and professionalism while this issue is resolved.

Yours sincerely,

At the summer fayre, each class is doing a ‘Raising Aspirations’ fundraiser stall. Class 6B have decided on a book ‘lucky dip’ for adults and children.

Could I please ask for everyone to bring in a book, that they no longer want? We will then wrap them and write a blurb in class.

Thanks so much!

Please can children in 6J come to school in Beech’s Base clothing this Friday, they will be in the forest during the afternoon.

Many thanks.

Please can we ask that all year 6 children bring in a plain white t-shirt by the end of the week.

As part of our DT curriculum, children create their own tie-dye t-shirt using different dyes.

Ideally this needs to be a plain white, round neck t-shirt without a brand/logo as this can affect the spread of colour.

Many thanks,

Please find below everything that is happening in year 6 next week.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Year 6 enjoyed a hot and sweaty Crucial Crew today! Even though it was hot, we had adequate shade under the marquees and lots of water.  Well done year 6!
