Parents/Carers…

I want to send a very sincere thank you to all members of the NJS family for a very successful Autumn Term.  It has certainly been a long term but we have created wonderful memories and enjoyed great success.

This term NJS has achieved Bronze Global Neighbour Award and School of Sanctuary Accreditation.  These awards show exceptional inclusion and awareness of global development: we should all be very proud of this achievement.  We have also had a full OFSTED inspection and our report will be published in the New Year; we are looking forward to being able to share this with you.

The school community has gone over and above to ensure that our children have had rich experiences this term which have included: our excellent club provision, day trips, community events, visiting speakers, themed days, charity events, sporting and academic competitions, travel projects and festive fun!

The children at NJS have been fabulous this term.  They have settled positively into their new classes, engaged with their learning and seized opportunities to take advantage of the additional opportunities NJS offers.  Well done to all of them.

I am very proud to be part of an exceptional school team who work tirelessly for the children in the NJS community.  I would like to say a huge thanks to them all for all they do and hope they have a well deserved rest over the Christmas break.

Thank you to all of our parents and carers for their ongoing support.  Working closely in partnership with you ensures that our children achieve their very best.

I’d like to wish everyone in the NJS family a very Happy Christmas.  I send my best wishes for 2024 and look forward to seeing you all next year!

I’m off for another mince pie!

Best wishes

Mrs Moody
