• RHS Malvern Spring Festival and BBC Hereford and Worcester

  Wed 30 Apr 2025

  Exciting News!

   

  We submitted an application to create a school show garden at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival this year, and we were accepted! With 90,000 people visiting the show, we are thrilled to be part of this amazing event.

  The theme of our garden is Worcester, and we have been busy collecting ideas from everyone. There were so many fantastic ideas, and we have taken the best ones that work well together to create a design for the show garden. Mr. McAll from Little Acre Gardens has been helping our Eco Reps with the project.

  The RHS Malvern Spring Festival features inspiring gardens, spectacular blooms, and plenty of ideas to try at home. Show times are from 8th to 11th May 2025.

  Tammy Gooding will be following the progress of our garden from design to creation and beyond. She visited us at school and at the showground to interview our Eco Council Reps.

  We featured on the BBC Hereford and Worcester Breakfast Show on Monday 14th April at 7.35am and 8.35am and again today!

• Worcestershire Parkway Visit

  Tue 04 Mar 2025

  Last Thursday, pupils from Norton Juxta Kempsey Primary School were joined by representatives from Worcestershire County Council and rail industry partners at the station to mark the significant sustainability milestone – achieving carbon neutral just five years after opening. The station, developed by Worcestershire County Council with support from rail development consultancy SLC, was designed to minimise carbon emissions in line with the council’s Net Zero Carbon Plan. Now, using data from the RSSB Rail Carbon Tool and analysis by SLC, Worcestershire Parkway has been found to have reached a stage where it is removing more carbon from the atmosphere than was emitted during its construction and operation. Over the past five years, our keen Eco Council representatives have regularly visited the station, tending raised beds and to litter pick. At NJK we work together with the love and joy of God to maximise our unique potential, and we hope that we can continue to make a positive contribution. The ongoing links with the station, rail partners and The Bee Friendly Trust have enriched our curriculum and we’re incredibly grateful for the ongoing enthusiasm shown by everyone involved in maintaining and growing these relationships. Since opening on 23 February 2020, just before the pandemic, the station has exceeded passenger projections by more than a decade, showcasing its role as a key transport hub. NJK Schoo

• Welcome Back!

  Mon 09 Sep 2024

  On Tuesday 3rd September we welcomed our new Reception pupils to NJK. It was lovely to see them join the rest of the school for collective worship and other curriculum activities. Pupils in Years 1-6 have been extremely helpful and friendly, assisting our new starts to settle quickly and easily.

  In worship last week, we shared the following prayer:

   

  Lord Jesus Christ

  This is our school, let your light shine here.

  Let the rooms be full of joy.

  Let love be all around-

  Love for one another, love for all people and love for you.

  Let us remember that, as many hands build a house,

  So many hearts build a school.

  Amen

• Year 6 Pupils visit to Normandy 17th-20th May 2024

  Thu 06 Jun 2024

  What a privilege to accompany the Year 6 pupils on their visit to France this year! During our stay we visited The British Normandy Memorial (above). It stands just outside the village of Ver-sur-Mer overlooking Gold Beach, one of the two beaches where British forces landed on 6 June 1944 (D-Day) 80 years ago today. It records the names of all those under British command who lost their lives in Normandy between 6 June and 31 August 1944. On the columns of the memorial are the names of more than 22,000 men and women. The majority of these names are those of the British soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen who lost their lives on D-Day and in the weeks that followed.

  In addition to this amazing place, we also visited Honfleur on 17^th May, Bayeux to view the tapestry on 18^th May, Falaise Castle later that day, Arromanches 360 cinema plus the American Cemetery and British War Memorial on 19^th May.

  In every place we visited, there were huge efforts being made to prepare for today’s 80^th Anniversary International Celebrations. We were fortunate to be part of something so special allowing us and future generations to understand the scale of what happened in Normandy in 1944, and the UK’s role in securing Europe’s freedom.
