Hello everyone
We do hope you have enjoyed our Sports Week this week. You will know, if you have had a look at our School and Nursery Improvement Plan which is on our website https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/er/sandnc/ that throughout the session, one of our improvement priorities has been to find as many ways as possible to welcome parents and carers into school and to support families to take an active part in the life and work of the school. We hope you feel that we have achieved this important priority and agree that there have been many opportunities throughout the school year where it has been really lovely to have you join us. Sports Week this week has, I feel, ended a positive year of events in such a lovely way. It was great to see many happy, smiling children and parent faces in the beautiful sunshine- thank you for supporting these events so enthusiastically. Look out for many more again next year. A huge thanks to Kelly Linn, Meg Sneddon, Emma Miller and all the staff who have been involved in planning and managing Sports Week, to have so many events running all week has been a mammoth task to organise so a very well done and thanks again to everyone. Also, a special mention to our P7 Netherlee Sports Leaders as well as some current and former Williamwood pupils who helped throughout the week as well, not only supporting and encouraging everyone but also developing their own leadership skills too.
Of course, if you feel that you have any feedback that you would like to share about Sports Week or any of the events this session, please don’t hesitate to get in touch in the usual way via email schoolmail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk. We are always very grateful to hear any suggestions or feedback you can provide us with.

Celebrating Wider Achievements at Netherlee
Recognising and celebrating children’s achievements is an integral part to the Curriculum for Excellence. We are always looking for new ways to recognise and celebrate our children’s wider achievements out with Netherlee. As detailed in our Promoting Positive Behaviour Policy, during Celebrating Success assemblies each month, certificates are awarded to pupils who have really tried to uphold the Netherlee Values, for Effort and Progress and for Achievements within and out with school. For example, many of our children take part in extracurricular clubs and competitions, charity work or simply have learnt a new life skill. To help us celebrate as many children’s achievements as possible. If you wish to share information about a recent wider achievement that your child has done, we would encourage you to complete the form below.
