Nettlefield Primary School Noticeboard

04/09/2026

Today in our assembly, Mrs Kane talked about the importance of having a trusted adult to turn to when we need help, support, or someone to listen.

We discussed who trusted adults might be, such as parents, carers, family members, teachers, teaching assistants, or other adults who help us feel safe and cared for. The children were reminded that if something is worrying them, they should never keep it to themselves and should always speak to a trusted adult.

💬 "Speak out, stay safe, and remember that there is always someone who will listen."

✂️A very special haircut for a wonderful cause! 💕

We are so proud of Mrs Parkinson, who has bravely had her hair cut and donated it to The Little Princess Trust. 👑

Her donated hair will help provide a real-hair wig for a child or young person who has lost their hair through cancer treatment or other conditions.

What an amazing act of kindness — well done, Mrs Parkinson!🌟👏

❗Parents - regarding fidget toys in school❗

Please note that due to recent safety concerns, fillable fidget toys (eg: butter squishy fidgets) will not be allowed in school.

Small fidget toys that can be kept in pockets and under school desks are still allowed if used in an appropriate manner. Thank you for your support in this manner.
