Parents/Carers

End of year school reports will be sent home with your child on Tuesday.  The report will be in your child’s school bag, in a sealed envelope.

If you require an additional copy, for example where parents are not at the same address, please email njs.admin@taw.org.uk to make this arrangement.

NOTE FOR YEAR 6 FAMILIES: Many of your children are on Secondary Transition Days on Tuesday.  The reason we are issuing reports on this date is this is the date schools are issued with KS2 SAT results so we get these to you straight away.  If your child is not in school on Tuesday and you wish to collect the report please come to the school office between 3pm and 4pm when the report and results will be ready to collect.  If you do not collect the report it will be sent home with your child on their next day in NJS.

On Wednesday 9th July we are holding our annual Open Evening.  School will be open between 3.30 and 6pm.  You are welcomed to come into school, at a time convenient to you, to view your child’s books in their current classroom.  You may also use this as an opportunity to talk with your child’s current class teacher and to visit your child’s new classroom and introduce yourself to their new teacher for September.

Any queries please do contact a member of the team.

NJS have been busy growing a crop of potatoes over the last few weeks! Newport Show Committee organise an annual potato growing competition for the Newport schools and the results are announced in the schools marquee on show day!

Well done and thank you to everyone who helped with our entry this year. Photographed with the potatoes are Harry, Seth, Eva and Evelyn.

Visit the Schools Marquee on the 12th July to find out the results!

Our NJS family joined together on Wednesday morning to say thank you and good bye to Reverend Merry who is leaving our parish this weekend.

Merry has been a very valued member of our school community for 7 years.

Our Worship Leaders presented Rev Merry with cards that each class had made for her.

We send Rev Merry our best wishes to her and her family.

We are very proud of Ruby in Year 3 who has recently donated her hair and raised funds for the Princess Trust.  Well done Ruby.

NJS thoroughly enjoyed the end of term Rocksteady Concert held in school today!

Thanks to Tom and all of the Rocksteady team for all of their work enriching music at NJS this year.

Here is Sarah from 3M – who has been working extremely hard to raise some money for a children’s charity. She chose to sell her old toys and sweets to anyone walking past her house. Sarah did really well and raised over £20!  Well done Sarah a lovely, kind act!

Well done to the year 5/6 girls football team who played an end of term friendly against SS Peter and Paul School yesterday. It was a warm one, so the game was divided into three lots of 10 minutes. By the end of the second ten, it was all square at 1-1 and someone mentioned penalties 🤣

However, in the last 10, SSPP scored 3 quick goals to end the game 4-1. Good luck to the year 6 girls, I hope they continue to play and enjoy their football at their new schools. Year 5’s I’ll see you next year!

Evelyn recently held a bake sale to raise funds for a swimming camp in Spain in the Autumn and completed a sponsored swim with 27 other children with the aim to swim the equivalent of the 7 peaks (86,624 m). Between them all, they achieved 87,450m with Evelyn swimming 2000m in a 1-hour period which is just phenomenal for a 9-year-old and we are super proud. She raised £400 in total!

Additionally, she has spent the weekend at Stafford apex gala this weekend, returning with 4 medals. Whilst this is a wonderful achievement, the best part is that every race she entered, she has improved her personal best in!

Well done Evelyn!
