On Monday 8th September class teachers will host information meetings 3.30-4pm and 4pm-4.30pm.

This is an opportunity for you to come into your child’s classroom, meet your child’s teacher and listen to a short presentation giving you an overview of the year and useful information.

If you are unable to attend information will be shared following the meetings via the newsletter.

We are fortunate to have a wonderful outdoor learning area at NJS which we call Beech’s Base.  Once a half term (approximately!) each class will have an afternoon of outdoor learning in Beech’s Base.  On this day the children come to school in their ‘Beech’s Base clothes’ which should include long sleeves and long trousers, sturdy outdoor shoes (ideally wellies) and waterproofs.

Dates this term:

September-October Half Term: Years 5 and 6 will be swimming.

Year 5: Monday

Year 6: Tuesday

Years 3 and 4 will swim between October half term and Christmas.

When your child is swimming they need to bring: swimming costume/trunks, towel, swimming cap and goggles.

We kindly ask for the safety and wellbeing of our children that parents and carers do not use mobile phones on school site.

We also ask that dogs do not come on to school site.

Gates open at 8.30am: please note that children are NOT supervised by school staff until 8.45am.

If your child already attends NJS your ParentPay log in details will remain the same in September.

If your child is new to NJS: we have to wait for electronic files to transfer and as soon as we are then able we will contact you with login details to set up your ParentPay account.  Your child may of course have a school meal whilst you await login details: your account will show once you are able to login.

At NJS we use ParentPay to: pay for school meals, consent and pay for school visits and sign up for school clubs.

Please can we ask parents and carers for their support… please name EVERYTHING that your child brings to school!  If items are named we can easily return them to your child.

Please ensure that your child’s name is clear and ideally also label items with your child’s class name e.g. ‘4L’.
