22nd March 2021
The results are in! Here is the display, in school, showing the results of our own school census. We have found this incredibly interesting and have highlighted with each class, the importance of spending a little more time outdoors and spending time with everyone around us, doing activities that wouldn't involve anything digital!
Thank you to all the children for taking part!

Children's Mental Health Week 2021
admin on: School Blog
1st to 7th February 2021
This week is children’s mental health week. The charity Beyond and Inside Out Day have teamed up to celebrate this landmark event in response to the pandemic’s impact on an already urgent mental health crisis.
On Wednesday, we are going to be taking part in Inside Out Day. Inside Out Day during Children’s Mental Health Week aims to remind young people to be kind always and think of others as no one knows how someone is feeling inside. We are asking everyone to wear an item of clothing inside out, to help share this simple message.
I would like to create a collage of photos, showing our support to this wonderful cause! If you would like to feature on this collage which will be posted on your Teams channels and on our school blog, please email your photos to me at
naomi.hemingway@netherthongprimary.co.uk.
Here is a message for everyone from The Duchess of Cambridge, who is a Patron of Place2Be, a children’s mental health charity that provides counselling and mental health support and training in UK schools, using tried and tested methods back by research.
I will be in touch soon with resources that you can use at home as well!

Teams meeting with local MP Jason McCartney
admin on: School Blog
13th November 2020
Today, year 5 and 6 had a very special teams meeting. Our local MP, Jason McCartney, got in touch and wanted to meet with the children to explain his role as an MP and to answer any questions they had to ask him. We found out about his life before becoming an MP, he told us about the video call he had with Sir David Attenborough and even showed us the picture of him meeting the Queen! The questions that the children thought of really got Jason thinking and were very probing, Jason was very impressed!
We are really proud of all the children who conducted themselves in an excellent manner and were brilliant ambassadors for the school!
Have a lovely weekend!
