NJS Success with Newport Hockey Club

Well done to all the children who are part of the NJS Family, who represented Newport Hockey Club at the Midland Finals in Nottingham. We had both boys and girls in the two U10’s team, after both team finished 2nd in the Shropshire qualifying rounds.

In the Midlands Finals the girls finished 13th and the boys finished 15th – massive congratulations to all that took part. What a super achievement!!

LOST PROPERTY

Again NJS has gathered a lot of lost property: staff will always return items to children when they are named but this is impossible when not!  Please ensure full names and class names are on all items coming to school.

If you are missing anything please do check the large red bin to the right of the office door.

We have a team of amazing volunteers coming in next week to check through the items and we encourage you to come and reclaim your items.
