The government have released updated guidance for schools which comes into effect from September 2026.  Our Governors have reviewed our policy in line with this and attach a copy below.

There are no amendments to our policy but to explain the availability of pre loved uniform and to emphasise that uniform items do not have to display our logo.

The policy does now state:

*No makeup, nail varnish or false nails.

*Stud earrings only.  These must be removed or covered with plasters for PE.

A copy of our policy can be found here:

A super opportunity to meet new people and support NJS…

Please can we remind our families about guidance ages for popular Apps.

We would especially like to remind you that WhatsApp is not recommended for children…

Well done to Elizabeth from all at NJS for recently achieving her Rookie Lifeguard certificate.  A super and very important achievement.

We hope everyone had a lovely half term break.

Please remember term dates can be checked here: https://newportjuniorschool.org.uk/home/termdates/
