Headteacher's Welcome

It has been a super week in school this week. The Year 2 children have been really busy! 

They impressed their parents with their fabulous Leaver's Performance on Tuesday and Wednesday and then had an amazing day out at Forge Dam which included a walk, lots of playing with their friends, a picnic and of course...an ice cream (thank you PTA!) The children really did have a super time. They were so well behaved and we were very proud of all of them.  

WELL DONE Y2!

Parent Survey

Thanks to those of you who have completed the Parent Survey. This will remain open until 9:00 on Monday morning. Please spend a few minutes sharing your views about our school - thank you! 

Extra Curricular Clubs - Autumn Term

Clubs go live at 7:00pm on Tuesday 7th July. Clubs are open to children in Year 1 and Year 2 only in the first term whilst the Reception children settle in (ASC is available). 

Please talk to your child about which club they would like to to do.  Refunds will not be given.

Please note:-

• Clubs start in week commencing 7th September (week 2)
• There is no choir until 17th September (week 3)

*PTA HELP URGENTLY NEEDED*

A quick follow-up to our appeals over the last few weeks! We’re still looking for volunteers to:

• help with our pre-loved uniform sales
• and a treasurer (volunteer now and get a handy handover!)

The PTA does so much to support the school and create memorable experiences for the children, and we’d love to keep that going. Like many school PTAs, we rely on a small group of core members, and at the end of this school year, 2 of our 6 core members will be moving on. So, we’re keen to welcome some new people to our team.

The commitment is manageable and flexible. Attending a Tuesday evening meeting (19:45 after dinner, bath and bed!) every couple of months is the main requirement. Tasks can be shared and fitted around work, family and other commitments. We are all working mums ourselves and support one another. We’re always happy to step in when someone has more on their plate than usual. A small contribution of time from several people goes such a long way.

If you feel you could take on a small but regular role within the PTA or would simply like to find out more before committing, please get in touch. We'd love to hear from you – nethergreeninfantschoolpta@gmail.com. 

SIMPLE WAYS TO FUND RAISE

Just a reminder about some easy ways you can raise money for the school:

Do your shopping through easyfundraising and the retailer will donate a percentage to our school and not extra cost to you! From groceries and clothes to holidays and gifts, it all adds up and makes a real difference. It’s quick to sign up and simple to use.
