Hello everyone
On behalf of the school, nursery and Netherlee community, we would like to wish all families, who celebrate Eid, a very happy Eid Mubarak. We hope you have a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family. Please accept my apologies that this important day coincided with our Open Classrooms this morning which meant that some families didn’t get the opportunity to come along. I am sure you will understand that planning out the whole school year’s calendar ready to share with parents in August is a huge undertaking but I will try my very best to avoid this clashing next session.
On that note though, it was wonderful to once again open the doors to the school and classrooms- thank you so much for taking the time to come along. These opportunities mean so much to both the children and staff and we know how much you as parents appreciate them too. There was such a lovely, happy buzz everywhere- in classes, corridors and the school gardens. Thank you also for returning the GIRFEC questionnaires. We have hundreds of responses so thank you for filling these out. If you didn’t make it along to school today, there is a box lying at the front door school reception, please pop up anytime next week and drop your form off in the box if you would like to complete it.
Over the coming weeks, I will collate all responses and will of course share the emerging themes and data around this with you. Your comments will also be used to shape our School and Nursery Improvement Plan for next session too. Thank you again.
Family Focused Gold Award Questionnaires (School and Nursery) – now live!
As part of our upcoming Gold Award accreditation, school and nursery parents and carers are required to complete a questionnaire containing a series of reflective statements about both settings. We require at least an 80% return rate, so we would be very grateful for your responses.
Many of you will have filled out this form this morning when you visited our school for the open classrooms- thank you. We’re sure you’ll all agree that our P6 and P4 children did a wonderful (and very thorough!) job asking for the forms to be filled in! Only if you haven’t filled in the form already for the school or nursery, please could you do so by clicking on the links below.

Information to Support Parent/Carers
As you may be aware, we sent out a ‘save the date’ notification for Tuesday 25th April for a parent/carer workshop evening.
As we have hosted many different daytime and evening events over the session, we feel it would be more beneficial for you to make the information that was due to be shared, accessible for all, by placing it onto our school website instead. We would like to reach as many of our families as possible and understand that not all parents and carers would be able to attend in the evening. Therefore, the information evening will not take place as scheduled but we will be in touch, in due course and before the end of the term, to let you know when and where you can find this on the website.
Foodbank Donation Drive
We are joining other establishments in East Renfrewshire to support the East Renfrewshire Foodbank, The Trussell Trust. More information can be found in this letter.
P4c P.E Days Update
P4c P.E days will now be a Tuesday and Friday. Can all children please remember to wear kit on these days.
