Headteacher's Welcome

It is hard to believe that we have  reached the end of another school year! It has been another wonderful year with so much to celebrate. We have loved the addition of our new Preschool Caterpillar class who have settled so well and  brought so much joy to our school. Across all year groups it has been amazing to see the progress the children have made both in their learning and importantly in their confidence and independence too. 

I would like to say an extra special well done to our amazing Year 2 children who are moving on to embark on new adventures at their junior schools -it has been an absolute pleasure having you in school and getting to know you all so well. Good luck in Year 3!

To the rest of the children in school, I am looking forward to hearing about all your holiday fun in September and wish you a wonderful summer break.

As you will know we are also saying goodbye to some of our wonderful staff team. Mrs Keeling is retiring after over 25 years of absolute commitment to the children of Nether Green Infants - she is loved by children and parents alike and for many children in the community she has been the one that has supported them at the very beginning of their special journey through school. Mrs Keeling has dedicated so much of her time, energy and love to our school and on behalf of the children, families and staff I would like to express an enormous thank you. Enjoy your well earned retirement Mrs Keeling!

We also say goodbye to Mrs Steeper who is also retiring and has worked as a Teaching Assistant with us for over 16 years. Amongst many other things we will miss her green fingers where she has shared her passion for gardening with the children alongside her gentle and caring approach. 

Miss Bennett is also moving on having chosen a change in career and we would like to thank her for her hard work and wish her every success in her new role. 

I would like to thank you all for sharing your wonderful children with us and for your ongoing support - for those of you who are returning we will see you bright and early on Wednesday 3rd September! 

Happy Holidays Everyone! 

We hope you're enjoying this lovely spell of sunshine and are looking forward to the summer holidays!  If you're out and about over the next few weeks, please consider supporting some of the brilliant local businesses that helped make our Summer Fair such a success.

Fancy a coffee and a slice of cake? Pop into Brook Coffee Rooms in Fulwood or The Woodland Coffee Stop in Ecclesall Woods. Looking for something to keep the children busy? Kids Love Yoga's holiday camp is a great way to burn off some energy (while bringing a little calm to the holidays!). Planning a barbecue? Pick up some fantastic artisan sausages from Piper's in Crosspool. And if you manage to sneak away for a bit of well-earned "me time", why not book yourself a manicure at The Beauty Clinic in Ranmoor, The Nail Loft in Fulwood or Peppermint Salon in Crosspool?

Perhaps you were one of our lucky raffle winners and have already enjoyed one of the generous prizes donated by our local businesses. I was delighted to win an Iris Sports Massage with Nikola, just round the corner at Fulwood Sports Club. It was absolutely brilliant. Whether you're a runner, a gym-goer, have the usual aches and pains, spend too long hunched over a laptop like me, or simply fancy an hour to properly switch off, I'd highly recommend it – bliss!

A huge thank you once again to all the wonderful local businesses who supported our Summer Fair – you can find them all here. Their generosity helped make the event such a success, and we hope our school community can continue to support them over the holidays. If you're able to, please shop local – it really does make a difference.

If you haven't already, why not download the easyfundraising app and raise money for the school every time you shop online? It doesn't cost you a penny extra, and if you're already signed up, you can refer a friend and earn a bonus donation for the school too!

And finally, have you considered joining the School Lottery? For just £1 a week, you'll be in with the chance of winning up to £25,000 while helping to raise regular funds for our school. With fewer people playing at the moment, the odds are looking even better – and our members seem to enjoy a win surprisingly often. It's a simple way to support the school, with the added bonus that you might just win too! Click here to join!
