Nettlestone Primary School

At Nettlestone Primary School, we take great pride in being a caring and nurturing educational institution. We are committed to ensuring that each child is valued and treated as an individual, thus promoting happy, supported, and successful independent learners. Our school is a community where all members are active, supportive, and dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for the children and their families.

Our Mission Possibles

Our curriculum is ambitiously planned and sequenced, with five mission possibles that underpin all that we do. These encourage our children to make healthy choices, be resilient, live respectfully, make a difference, and make it happen. We believe in teaching 'the right stuff to the right kids in the right way at the right time, every day!' to support and challenge our pupils at the appropriate time.

Promoting Healthy Choices

At Nettlestone Primary School, we recognise the importance of promoting healthy choices in all aspects of school life. We provide our pupils with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing, and we encourage them to lead active lifestyles. Through our curriculum and extra-curricular activities, we aim to promote a positive attitude towards healthy eating and physical activity.

Building Resilience

We believe that building resilience is essential for our pupils' personal and academic success. We provide a supportive and challenging environment that enables our pupils to develop the skills and qualities they need to cope with life's challenges. Through our curriculum and pastoral care, we aim to develop confident, independent, and resilient learners who are able to adapt to change and overcome obstacles.

Promoting Respect and Inclusion

At Nettlestone Primary School, we are committed to promoting respect and inclusion for all members of our community. We value diversity and promote equality, and we believe that every child has the right to learn in a safe and supportive environment. Through our curriculum and ethos, we aim to develop respectful and tolerant learners who are able to understand and appreciate the differences between people.

Making a Difference

We believe that children can make a difference in their local and global communities. We provide opportunities for our pupils to engage in social action projects, and we encourage them to be responsible citizens who are able to contribute to society. Through our curriculum and extra-curricular activities, we aim to develop confident and articulate learners who are able to express their opinions and make a positive impact on the world.

Extra-Curricular and Enrichment Programme

At Nettlestone Primary School, we offer an extensive extra-curricular and enrichment programme that we believe is integral in the development of enthused, excited, tolerant, and happy learners who are encouraged to develop their talents and interests. Our sports teams usually ride high in competitions, and our passion for the Arts is well celebrated within our community.

Mental Health and Emotional Wellbeing

At Nettlestone Primary School, we value mental health and emotional wellbeing and always ensure that our children are emotionally 'ready to learn'. We are passionate about pupils actively supporting the well-being of their friends too. By working within our professional networks, we can ensure that our families receive the best possible support at the times that they need it.

Preparing Pupils for Life in Modern Britain

At Nettlestone Primary School, we know that our approaches ensure that pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain and that they leave Nettlestone ready to face their next step in education with positivity and pride. We believe that education is about more than just academic success, and we strive to develop confident, responsible, and compassionate young people who are able to make a positive contribution to society.
