Headteacher's Welcome

It's been a busy week which has included a trip to the Butterfly House for some of our children, a  Razmatazz dance workshop, scooter sessions for the Y1s alongside lots of fabulous learning inside and out - the children have really been enjoying some sunshine in our fabulous outside areas! 

Reception 

Teachers have talked to the children about coming into school themselves and saying goodbye to their grown ups at the gate - we have noticed lots of children starting to do this already - well done! It is really good preparation for Y1 for the children to be familiar and gain confidence in doing this whilst they are still in their current familiar class. 

Preschool Places

Thanks to those of you who have sent in applications for the academic year 2026-27. Places will be allocated via email by the end of April.

We still have a small number of places remaining for the next academic year (DOB 1.9.22 - 31.8.24) so if you would like further information please visit our Preschool website page or contact the school office to arrange a visit or with any specific enquiries.

Notes from the Teachers 

September Classes - All Year Groups 

Teachers will be starting to think about organising classes very soon. If there is any important information you would like teachers to be aware of, please send an email to the class email address

You can read all about what the children are learning in school this term by following these links:-

Year 1 & 2 - The theme in KS1 is 'Once Upon a Time' - the learning across the curriculum will be linked to a range of stories, traditional and modern.  You can see more information about what they will be learning here.

Reception - The topic in Reception is 'Minibeasts'. Children will be learning about lifecycles first hand. You can read more about the learning here.

Preschool - The theme is 'Ready Steady Grow!' Children will be planting seeds and learning about the lifecycles of plants and animals. 


Just a reminder of the upcoming PTA events:

 

To celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday on Friday 8th May, the children will be learning about his incredible work and the natural world he has brought to life for so many. To mark the occasion, children are invited to come to school dressed as something from the natural world — an animal, bird, plant, flower or anything nature-inspired! 

 

It’s not long until our School Disco which is on Thursday 14th May! It’s a fantastic opportunity for the children to spend time with friends, show off their best dance moves, and have lots of fun in a safe and familiar setting. Doors open at 5:30pm, with pick-up at 6:30pm. The cost is £6 per child. 

 

We now need to get cracking with planning the 2026 Summer Fair which will take place on Friday 19th June! This year’s event will have a fun farm theme, with games including Feed the PigSplat the Rat and Guess the Name of the Scarecrow, alongside favourites like the bouncy castle and BBQ. As our biggest event of the year, we’ll need plenty of volunteers to help make it a success. If you’re able to lend a hand, please sign up as early as possible — your support will help us create a fun-filled and successful day for everyone! Please drop us a message at nethergreeninfantschoolpta@gmail.com

 

Finally, our next PTA meeting is on Tuesday 28th April, 19:45 at The Florentine. Everyone welcome!

 

If you’re not on the PTA WhatsApp group and could help with any of the events, please do get in touch via email - nethergreeninfantschoolpta@gmail.com.

Please join us!
