Hello, Parents and Carers!

A highly successful week for NFS, in terms of raising awareness of three key areas:

• The school respectfully recognised Armistice Day with a 2-minute silence on Monday 11 November
• Many students and staff raised anti-bullying awareness by wearing odd socks on Tuesday 12 November
• Families support the Children in Need agenda by kindly donating cakes and biscuts for our break time bake sale.

We wish to thank our community for their invaluable support with these important issues. Please see below for a few key updates and we hope you have a peaceful weekend. 

Very best wishes,

Joel Tomasevic - Senior Leader for Communications and Parent Involvement
