Little Princess Trust Fundraising
Just a quick email to let you know that Elizabeth in Year 5 has decided to fundraise for Little Princess Trust, and would really appreciate your support.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Little Princess Trust, so it’s the most efficient way to give – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
You can donate to Elizabeth’s JustGiving page by clicking here https://www.justgiving.com/page/1728593614322?utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=page%2F1728593614322&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=pfp-email
JustGiving sends your donation straight to Little Princess Trust and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
Thank you for your support!

The Halo Code – Black History Week
NJS has signed up to the Halo Code.
We are sharing this as a focus during our Black History Week in school. It will be shared will all who are part of our school family. The Halo Code is a pledge, signed by schools and businesses, that promises members of the Black community that they have the freedom and security to wear all afro-hairstyles without restriction or judgment. At NJS we are we have adopted the Halo Code, which states:
“Our school champions the right of staff and students to embrace all Afro-hairstyles. We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black staff and students’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance.
We welcome Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps.
At this school, we recognise and celebrate our staff and pupils’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on anyone’s ability to succeed.
Cross Country: Tuesday 22nd October at Chetwynd Deer Park
If your child returned their consent form to school by the 16th October they are on our register for the cross country event at Chetwynd Deer Park on Tuesday.
Please send your child into school on Tuesday ready for this event: they need to be wearing PE kit and trainers. The children need to bring packed lunch and a water bottle in a small backpack they can carry there and back. Please ensure the children have layers and a waterproof coat with them so they are prepared for all weathers!
We are leaving school around 10am and all year groups will be back before the end of the school day.
Good luck to all of our runners!
Term Date Reminder!
Just a reminder that we finish for school on Friday 25th October and return on Monday 4th November.
IMPORTANT: Beech’s Base
We are finding that when children are going to Beech’s Base either for club or during the school day some aren’t coming with appropriate clothing.
When children go to Beech’s Base they must have long trousers and long sleeves. Layers are sensible as the children can adjust according to the weather.
Children will need waterproof coats as a must and waterproof trousers are ideal.
Children must wear wellies. Please also send them with a change of shoes for indoor use.
We appreciate your support with this so we can enable them to make the most of this amazing facility.
