If you have consented for your child to have the nasal flu spray this will be administered by the NHS before we leave school.

Mrs M

The teaching team are looking forward to meeting with parents/carers next week.

If you have a face to face appointment in the afternoon please arrive at school at your allocated time and make your way to the school hall.  You will be able to view your child’s books whilst you wait for your teacher.

If you wish to take your child home after this meeting please go from the hall to the school office where the team will arrange for your child to meet you there.

Best wishes

Burton Borough have invited our NJS choir to perform at their Community Remembrance Service on the 11th November 6-7.15pm at St Nicholas’ Church.

The choir will perform two songs and will join with the rest of the performers for a joint piece of music.

We would be delighted if your child would be able to join us for this event.  Parents are of course also welcomed to attend.

Children will be asked to wear their school uniform and a poppy for this event.

Please confirm on ParentPay by Friday 24th October your child’s attendance.

Thank you for your support.

Miss Shepherd has been super impressed with efforts in the pool this week.

Best class.... 5P!  Extremely well behaved and giving lots of effort in the water.  Well done 5P.

Student mentions…. both from 6J – Elizabeth and Noah.

Elizabeth as she is consistently very polite, swims confidently and correctly, an all round pleasure to teach.

Noah because of the continued improvement and his willingness to learn.

Huge thank you to Pryce Builders Limited for sponsoring our wonderful new sports tops!

Well done to Holly who last week passed her Karate grading and is now a Red belt.  This is a super achievement and everyone at NJS is proud of Holly.
