Leavers Day
Thursday 17th July is ‘2025 Leavers Day’ at NJS.
We will begin the day with a Leavers Service at St Nicholas’ Church beginning shortly after 9am. The whole school will attend this event. Year 6 parents (apologies we cannot accommodate parents from other year groups) are welcomed to attend however this is limited to 2 guests per child please.
We will return to school and the children will enjoy the option to have ‘Leavers Lunch’: a menu they have designed as a celebration of their time at NJS:
Main: NFC (Newport Fried Chicken) Southern Fried Chicken (vegetarian alternative offered), chips and sweet corn.
Pudding: Doughnuts, strawberries and melted chocolate.
During the afternoon the children will be allowed to have their NJS t shirt signed by members of our school family. Please send them with pens for this: ‘Sharpie’s’ are ideal!
NJS are then hosting a Leavers Party for the Year 6 children 3.30-5.15pm. Staff will be organising a wide range of activities for the children to enjoy and we will finish with some chips and an ice pop! Children should wear practical clothing for this party: trainers and comfortable clothes as some activities will be ‘sporty’! If you are collecting your child please do so from the Y6 gate at 5.15pm.
Staff…
Miss Smith will be finishing at NJS at the end of this term. She has an exciting new challenge in education that she is moving onto in September. We are very grateful to Miss Smith for all she has done for NJS. Her commitment to enrichment through dance and netball have been appreciated.
Mrs Yates will also finish at NJS. Mrs Yates will commence teacher training in September: NJS are proud to be ‘growing the profession’! She has been a valued member of the HLTA team for over 6 years and will be missed.
Next week we will of course share our thanks with Mr Humphries, Mrs Yates and Miss Smith as they all move on to new adventures in education. We will miss them all and thank them for their commitment to NJS and the difference they have made to our children.
