Brockadale Nature Reserve

On Thursday, Yr 5 & 6 were given the challenge to complete a 12 km walk to Brockadale Nature Reserve and back. 5HJ supported each other along way and showed huge levels of determination and stamina. The sun was shining and we all had a fabulous time. I can’t wait for the fantastic year ahead! 

First Week Back!

What a great first week for 3EG at NJS! There have been plenty of smiles and lots of laughter! 3EG have taken part in a mini sports day, made kindness pebbles, and enjoyed lots of team games.

Trek through the wilderness!

Yesterday, Year 5 and 6 took part in a trek around Brockadale Nature Reserve. It wasn’t easy but the pupils showed resilience, perseverance, positivity and they supported each other which was lovely to see.

First week back focus, fun and frivolity!

It’s been quite the first week back so far and the children having been busy getting to know each other through engaging in a variety of activities and tasks. Here, we have problem solved, worked on teamwork and communication as well as exploring what Crew means to us.

Crew Olympic Games!

Yesterday, Year 5 and 6 took part in a Crew Olympic Games event! The pupils worked together in to crews and participated in games and problem-solving tasks. We were so impressed by their communication and teamwork skills and of course they had a lot of fun too!

From The Ground Up: LISTEN NOW!

Check out one of our students’ latest beautiful Expedition products, featuring powerful folk songs created by Year 7 at XP Gateshead, inspired by the rich mining heritage of North-East England. From performing mining-related songs to studying historical events and visiting Beamish Museum, our students have captured the essence of the miners’ stories.

Dive into the history and heart of mining communities with us and listen along in all your favourite places here!

Cup Completion at NJS

That’s right everyone, after a grand total of 66 full throttle football fixtures at Norton’s now famous sports field – culminating in a total of 142 goals and some quite extraordinary celebrations – we have our winners to be announced during tomorrow’s leavers assembly.

I must say, however, that the spirit in which the game has been played has been magnificent, as has the level of magnanimity from the majority of the players in defeat.

Who needs the Euros when you have Mr Fellowes’ Cup?

Schools Catering Price Increase across XP Trust

Dear parents,

We have recently received next year’s prices from our current catering providers, Doncaster Council Schools Catering Service.

Due to rising food and labour costs, they have significantly increased the price to all of our schools across the Trust. 

Even with the schools heavily subsidising this, we may still need to increase the cost per meal for parents to £3.00. We are greatly disappointed to ask this of our parents, but this is a decision we have had to make due to reasons out of our control. 

We will continue to work with Schools Catering over the summer holidays to try and bring these costs down, whilst ensuring a high quality meal will be provided to each of our students. We will keep parents informed with any updates on this.

We are exploring other providers, and if necessary, we will look to change providers if a more cost effective offer is available elsewhere.

We will do everything we can to keep the price of school meals affordable to our parents, but we wanted to provide early warning that our prices are likely to increase from September 2024.
