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.

Congratulations to our newly formed mini-basketball team, who competed yesterday 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!

Your children have come home today with a link to a survey regarding wrap around care. We would be grateful if you could complete it, whether you are interested or not. (Please look in book bags and thank you in advance.)

We have noticed that a number of children are wearing jewellery in school. Please note that it is school policy that children only wear small plain, gold or silver stud earrings (not hoops) and that they can remove these themselves for PE. They are also able to wear a plain wrist watch - bracelets and necklaces are not allowed.

Finally, please ensure that children wear appropriate clothing for Forest School, including coats, and that they bring a change of footwear for inside school if they arrive in their wellies or boots. If we cannot go to the site, they are still welcome to come in their Forest School clothes - better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them...

Have a lovely weekend!
