NJS are TELFORD CHESS CHAMPIONS!

Mr Marsh and Mr Morris took two teams to compete in the Telford Schools Chess Championship this afternoon. The children represented NJS exceptionally well in their teamwork, attitude and excellent behaviour. Their performance at chess was excellent.
Alex, Arthur, James and Sai won the tournament and Willow was also the only child there today to win every match she played.
What exceptional success!
We now look forward to representing Telford in the Shropshire finals.
