Welcome!

May I warmly welcome you to our school website.

Netherseal St.Peter's is a small Church of England primary school. We are very proud of our school in terms of its superb location, academic achievement and community spirit.  We lie in the heart of the National Forest, very close to the town of Swadlincote, South Derbyshire and are extremely close to the borders of Leicestershire, Warwickshire and Staffordshire. 

'I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future' (Jer.29:11)

We pride ourselves on our strong Christian ethos, based on the teaching of the church. As such, we have an unconditional acceptance for all children as they are, absolute aspiration for them to be the best that they can be and an unflinching commitment to make that a reality. Staff know and have time for each child as an individual and we care for every member of our community, providing them with the tools, values and skills to navigate our ever-changing world.

Children and families of any faith or of no faith are equally welcome in our school.

We would love you to visit us to see for yourself! Please contact the office to arrange an appointment.

DIVERSITY DAY
13/05/2025 5:07 PM

One of our pupils suggested that we hold a Diversity Day which recognises and celebrates our seen and unseen differences. Learning about diversity helps children challenge stereotypes and understand the experiences of others, leading to greater empathy and compassion and enabling them to become responsible members of a diverse and ever-changing society.

Children are invited to come to school on Friday in clothes that reflect themeslves and their uniqueness (please note that we still plan to go the Forest School and no crop tops etc). Thank you

Congratulations to our newly formed mini-basketball team, who competed at Greenbank Leisure Centre against six other local teams. As usual, the behaviour and positive attitude our pupils displayed was commented on by everyone. They showed great teamwork, playing with smiles on their faces even when they went behind, and we are delighted to report that they came second in the competition – a massive well done!
