Headteacher's Welcome

Happy New Year!

Welcome back everyone - and a very special welcome to our new Preschool children and families. Our new Caterpillars are settling in really well! They have had such a super first week in school. They have been so brave saying goodbye to their grown ups, and have been making lots of new friends. The children have been enjoying their beautiful new classroom and been having so much fun outside too! 

Well done Caterpillars!

Sleep Seminar - 20th January at 9am

Please email school if you would like to attend. 

Laura Whitaker from the Parenting Team is coming to deliver a Sleep Seminar on 20th January at 9am for refreshments to start at 9.15am. It will last for 90 mins. It will focus on supporting children who are or who might be neurodivergent.

Outdoor Play
We try to enable the children to play outside whenever possible. In the winter this means they are often outside when it is cold and sometimes wet. Please ensure your child comes to school ready for the weather including a warm waterproof coat and shoes.

Contact with Teachers 

If you need to contact your child's class teacher you may email them using the class email which is the name of the class as follows e.g. bears@nethergreen-inf.sheffield.sch.uk, koalas@nethergreen-inf.sheffield.sch.uk etc

Please do not expect an immediate response as teachers are teaching all day and are not expected to reply to emails during evenings and weekends. For a quick chat you can wait at the end of the day. For urgent messages please contact the school office. 

Welcome back everyone! We hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year break and the children (and grown-ups) are enjoying getting settled back into the school routine!
