Important Safeguarding Notice: Children’s “Spy Dog / Spy Pup / Spy Cat” Books

We want to make you aware of a recent issue affecting some popular children’s books by Andrew Cope, including the Spy DogsSpy Cats, and Spy Pups series.

Some editions of these books include a printed web address at the back. This link used to go to the author’s website, but the domain is no longer under his control. It has since been taken over by another party and now leads to inappropriate adult content.

The publisher, Puffin, has paused sales and distribution of the books and is working with schools, libraries, and retailers to remove copies from circulation. They have stressed that the website has no connection to the author or publisher.

What this means for you:

  • If your child has any Spy DogSpy Cat or Spy Pups books at home, please check the back for website links and make sure they do not try to visit the site.
  • It is safe for children to continue reading the stories themselves — the concern is only with the outdated link.
  • We recommend talking with your child about the importance of not following web addresses in books without checking with an adult first.
  • Should you have any questions or require any further support please do not hesitate to contact us at educationsafeguarding@telford.gov.ukWe will continue to share updates from the publisher as more information becomes available.

Yr 5 Bikeability Courses as Part of Road Safety Week!

If you would like one of the places for the Bikeability course for Year 5, where children learn to ride their bikes safely on the roads, then follow the link in the attached letter. This is where you sign your child up for a course, which is being run at NJS during Road Safety Week. I will then be in touch closer to the time regarding which day your child needs their bike and safety gear in school.

Year 5 Collection

Parents and Carers

I hope you are well.

As you are aware we ask that Y5 are collected from the front gates as it eases a little of the congestion on the main yard.  We thank you for your support with this.

Please can we ask that when you come through the gate to collect or drop off you exit down the side of the Year 5 block onto the car park and out opposite One Dental.  This will enable a ‘flow’ of parents and staff to be able to more easily dismiss.

We would really appreciate your support with this.

Mrs Moody

Individual Photos

Reminder to parents:

Tomorrow it is whole school individual children’s photos. Please ensure your child comes to school in an NJS School jumper.
