Welcome!

May I warmly welcome you to our school website.

Netherseal St.Peter's is a small Church of England primary school. We are very proud of our school in terms of its superb location, academic achievement and community spirit.  We lie in the heart of the National Forest, very close to the town of Swadlincote, South Derbyshire and are extremely close to the borders of Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire. 

'I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future' (Jer.29:11)

We pride ourselves on our strong Christian ethos, based on the teaching of the church. As such, we have an unconditional acceptance for all children as they are, absolute aspiration for them to be the best that they can be and an unflinching commitment to make that a reality. Staff know and have time for each child as an individual and we care for every member of our community, providing them with the tools, values and skills to navigate our ever-changing world.

Children and families of any faith or of no faith are equally welcome in our school.

We would love you to visit us to see for yourself! Please contact the office to arrange an appointment.

Whole School Tree Planting
13/02/2025 10:56 AM

On Wednesday 26th February, the whole school will be planting trees for the Netherseal Community Woodland, with the National Forest.  Children will need to come to school in their Forest School clothes and bring a change of footwear (preferably wellies).  This will be our Forest School session for the week, so there will be no Forest School on Friday 28th February, but children are still welcome to wear their Forest School Clothes, school uniform or PE kit.

Recognition of International School Award

We previously informed you that we have been awarded the prestigious British Council International School Award (ISA) yet again.

This is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of all the staff, and in particular Miss Halsey, who leads our International School offer.

We are proud to support our pupils in developing an understanding of their global neighbours, becoming responsible, curious and tolerant, ready to tackle many of the issues that are part of growing up in our ever-changing world.

The Member of Parliament for South Derbyshire, Samantha Niblett, recently sent the school a letter and posted her congratulations on Facebook – we are proud to make a difference!

Congratulations to our newly formed mini-basketball team, who competed at Greenbank Leisure Centre against six other local teams. As usual, the behaviour and positive attitude our pupils displayed was commented on by everyone. They showed great teamwork, playing with smiles on their faces even when they went behind, and we are delighted to report that they came second in the competition – a massive well done!
