We had a lovely afternoon taking part in a range of sporting activities to gather points for our teams. We all took part in a race and earned much valued points. Mrs Peverely and June kindly kept the score. Our amazing Sports Leaders, along with Mr Beveridge, made sure the afternoon ran smoothly and all equipment was ready for each activity.

A massive well done to each and every child, you were all amazing! A special well done to the children who achieved Sainsburys Values awards, awarded by our Sports Leaders.

And finally congratulations to the winning team and 2024 champions …. BLUE TEAM!

Today we had a very interesting assembly with OASES who told us all about an exciting project in Durham County Council. Our KS2 then had the opportunity to share their opinions and ideas and how wildlife and our local environment can be improved. We love sharing our pupil voice, thanks for listening!

We are so proud of our KS2 children who represented us at Beamish Museum for the SSP annual Durham Dash. The children were all amazing and represented our school amazingly! Well done everyone. And a special thanks to Mrs Lee, Mr Beveridge and Mrs Corrigan for coming along to support us all.

We welcomed Naomi and Sarah from Refuse Cafe, Chester le street into our assembly. They, with the help of the waste warriors, informed us of our results from the food waste survey. We were all so proud to learn that we had worked hard as a school to waste less food. We now have a plan of action to go forward and continue our hard work in the future … watch this space!

We are delighted to announce that we, Nettlesworth Primary School, have achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award for the 2023/24 academic year.

The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.

A special thanks to:
Sports Leaders, SSOC’s crew, playground buddies and all of the hard working staff here at NPS!

We are excited to be working with Naomi and Sarah from the Refuse Cafe in Chester le street. They are working with us to help us understand our food waste in school and how this has an impact on the world around us. We have our very own Waste Warriors in school too, who will be helping to spread the important message about food waste and how we can work to ensure we waste as little food as possible. Keep an eye on our website for more information!
