Starts next week!

Just a reminder that when your child is going to Beech’s Base they will get muddy!  We ask:

-They come to school that day in old clothes!

-They must have long sleeves and long trousers.

-We suggest waterproof trousers but certainly a waterproof coat.

-Please send your child in shoes to wear in school in the morning and with a pair of old trainers/walking boots or wellies to wear to Beech’s Base in the afternoon.

Thank you for your support.

Newport CE Junior school has signed up to the above platform to enable parents to order pre loved uniform for free!

Simply register using the weblink above.  If you see an item you would like please ‘send a message’ stating your child’s full name and class.  The school office will then send this item home with your child on the next school day.  Easy!

We hope this helps families to access pre loved uniform with ease.

Please remember throughout the year we appreciate donations of pre loved uniform to NJS: please bring it to the school office (green jumpers, logo polo shirts, grey items, fleeces… all appreciated!)

Just a few reminders:

*Children are not supervised until 8.45am.

*Our Victorian school bell rings at 8.45am and the children should line up in their class lines for their teachers to take them into school.

*Years 3, 4 and 6 have drop off and collection on the main yard and Year 6 through the front security gate.  If you have siblings in various year groups please use the drop off/collection point that suits best.

*We advise that if you have children at Newport Infant School you drop off at NJS first in the morning and then Newport Infants.  In the afternoon collect from Newport Infant School first and then Newport Juniors.

*Please can we ask no dogs on the playgrounds and that mobile phones are not used.

*If children arrive on bikes or scooters we ask that they dismount on school grounds to avoid collision and sensibly, on arrival, park in the bike/scooter shelter.

*Gates are open until 8.55am in the morning and 3.25pm in the afternoon: if you arrive late please make your way to the school office.

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

Year 3 and new starters please ensure you have activated your ParentPay account so that you can pay for school meals, school trips and sign up for clubs and residential visits.

Thank you to all of the parents and carers who were able to attend the meetings on Monday in school.  For those unable to attend the information was sent home via newsletter email and is available on your year group page.

Please remember you can contact class teachers via the Home Link book and they are out at the beginning and end of the school day.

Please can we ask that all outstanding contact forms are returned to school urgently.  It is important we are confident we have accurate and up to date information for the children,

Thank you for your support.
