Well done Alisha

Rights Respecting School

We are immensely proud to be a UNICEF Rights Respecting School level 2.

UNCRC Article 12– Children have the right to say what they think should happen when adults are makingdecisions that affect them, and to havetheir opinions taken in to account.

As a Rights Respecting school  we are an organisationwhich promotes equality and the UNCRC articles giving children in our care a high level of pupil voice and participation as well as striving to educate them to become all round Global citizens.

We are also a Rights Respecting Ambassador School, where we work with other schools to help promote and achieve Rights Respecting Schools Award

A large part of this work is the creation of Charters  – agreements between the children and adults in school about what actions both groups will take to help promote the UNCRC articles.

Groups of children in a class will choose an article that they feel is important to them and think about what actions they as children  can take to help themselves and others globally to make that article work.

Adults in school will think about what actions they can take to do the same.  Together, class, whole school and playground charters are created which helps to make our school a thoughtful, reflective place to learn, work and play.

We are due our re-accreditation assessment on Tue 2^ndOctober

The Platinum Award was launched 2017 as an extension of the School Games Mark to reward schools who have maintained consistently high standards with their school sport provision.

We’re delighted to today announce our that we have been given the Platinum Award and would like to thank our Sports Leaders, School Organising Sports Crew, Children, Staff, Parents and Governors for their hard work and commitment to PE in our school.

We are also creating a display of old memorabilia so if anyone has any photographs or news, we can add it on our display. Many Thanks

We are so proud of our recent award. Here are our Sports Crew, Leaders and Buddies showing off our certificate and plaque.

Well done once again!

George has recently achieved Level 1 in his after school swimming lessons and was so proud to show everyone at school his fantastic certificate and badge! Well done George, keep up the good work 🙂

Our first day in Class 1 was so exciting! We had a very busy but fun first day getting to know our new friends and had lots of fun. We spent our day painting, playing in our hospital, exploring outside and building with the big blocks. We enjoyed lunch in the big hall and met boys and girls from the other classes on the big yard. Before we knew it our parents were here to pick us up! 🙂

Good luck to our Year 6. They have been truly amazing and we will miss them very much but are ready for their next journey.

Oscar anyone?

Class 4 put on their annual production of Cinderella and Rockerfella.

It was a roaring success – we may even have some budding thespians at Nettlesworth!

Outstanding Class 4 🙂

Amazing Adventures!

Some of Class 4 have been on tour to Robinwood.

They have pushed and challenged themselves beyond all expectations, never giving up if it was a little scary.

A massive well done to the children who went – they thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

I hope the clothes washing wasn’t too bad?!

Congratulations to all 5 of the children below who achieved 100% attendance over the course of the entire school year!

There have been a number of colds,flus and sicky bugs around over the last couple of months and so these children have done especially well to keep fighting fit!

To award your amazing achievements you have all received 2 tickets to Inflataspace and a marvellous goodie bags of treats! Well done Amelia Lee, Grace Lee, Grace Bailey, Lucie Punshon and Alfie Harle we are very proud of you!
