Term dates to 2028 can be found here: https://newportjuniorschool.org.uk/home/termdates/

We return to school on Wednesday 3rd September 2025.

Please do check term dates before you book a holiday: remember that holidays taken during term time will incur a penalty.

We are very much looking forward to September 2025!  We are excited for the new academic year: new learning and exciting opportunities for memory making.

We hope that this newsletter is useful for families to help them to prepare for the new school year.

A massive shout out to the the wonderful Year 6 children who attended our annual London trip this week. Their behaviour and attitude were superb!

And a huge thank you to the staff who supported them on this trip – without them it wouldn’t happen!

+ Mr Rotherham, Mrs Moody and Mrs Case!

Attendance Policy Jan 25

Our Attendance Policy is always on the school website on the ‘Policies’ and ‘Attendance’ pages.

If you are ever considering requesting leave in term time please ensure you have read this policy first so you understand the potential response.

Remember:

I hope I’m not speaking too soon but we have some sunshine!!

I wanted to take the opportunity to give some reminders about sun safety at school:

*Please apply sun cream before your child attends for school.  Please do send them with a named bottle of sun cream they can reapply before lunchtime (please note school staff cannot do this so please ensure you have shown your child how to do this).  Children may only use their own sun cream: staff will not allow them to share due to allergies etc.

*Please send your child to school with a named sun hat they can wear when outside.

*Please send your child to school with a filled water bottle which they can refill during the day to ensure they remain hydrated.

Thank you for working together to keep our children safe.

We hope all of our families had a wonderful Easter break!  It has been a great first week back in school.

Please remember this weekend is a Bank Holiday so we return to school on Tuesday, enjoy the extra day!
