Hello everyone
We’ve had a fantastic first week back as staff and children reconnect and build relationships with our new children and families. It has been wonderful to see all the smiling faces coming into school each morning. Our amazing staff team are taking the time to get to know your child, learn about their likes and dislikes and settle them into their new routines.
We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all new children and families who have recently joined our Netherlee community. I know that our existing parents will also look out for new faces and help where they can too. Thank you for helping us to make Netherlee School & Nursery such a lovely, warm and welcoming community.
The roads and car parks are very busy at the start and end of each school day, please remember when dropping off or collecting children, to be mindful of other adults and children, use official parking spaces and be respectful of any school or council staff.

PE Timetable
Please see attached the PE/ Gym Day Timetable. On these days children should come to school in their PE uniform. Our uniform policy can be found here which details, as a reminder, the Netherlee’s School Uniform List. Our children have returned to school looking extremely smart in their school uniform and I would like to thank you for the commitment and support with this.

Emails to School
Thank you for using our efficient email system to communicate with us. Please ensure you include your child’s name and class in the subject bar so that your email can be passed on to the appropriate person very quickly- thank you.
Parent Council Update
Our first Parent Council Meeting of the new session will take place on Wednesday, 30th August at 7pm and we would love to welcome new and existing parents/carers along. The School & Nursery Improvement Plan will be shared at the first meeting, and we trust everyone is keen to hear about the exciting plans for the year ahead at Netherlee.
Moving forward, the Parent Council and PTA will be working closely together therefore the PTA will update on activity at all PC meetings. We look forward to welcoming you all on 30th Aug.
