Mark Chapter 12 verse 33
And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.
Being in school and having the best attendance possible underpins all the many benefits of school for your child, such as their learning, wellbeing and wider development. Good attendance is expected for all students at Nutfield Church Primary School. Since the beginning of the 2025/26 academic year, we are able to see which year groups has the best attendance.
Well done Year 6!
Every term we will look at which class has the overall best attendance and that particular Year group will receive extra play time at the end of term. Additionally, students that have an attendance of 100% will go into a draw to win a £10.00 Amazon voucher.
A reminder that the school gate opens at 8.45am and closes at 9.00am. The registers close at 9.05am. If pupils arrive at school after 9.05am this is deemed as late. Any arrival after 9.25am will be marked as a ‘U’ code and the lateness will be deemed as an unauthorised absence. Persistent lateness may be notified to the Inclusion Officer. In line with our normal practice we do ask that from next week at school drop off, Parents and Carers will need to say goodbye to their child/children at the gate and will not be permitted onto the school playground. Thank you for your cooperation.
We will be changing the content of the class homework letters and the way they are sent out. Homework letters will be homework and task specific and a more detailed planning letter will be issued termly. Class homework letters will be available online via the school website and details of when this will go live will soon be communicated. For this week, your child/children will be sent home with a printed copy of their class homework letter.
Well done to Year 6 who were away on their annual residential last week. The residential forms part of our longer-term commitment to our Outdoor Learning provision. The trip was organised and led by our teachers and support staff; Mrs Cordey, Miss Best, Mrs Fine and Mrs Ross. We are blessed to have so many committed staff who give up their time with their own families to support the children so well. Thank you to everyone who went along, a great time was had by all. The children were wonderful throughout.
During their week away, the children engaged in activities such as kayaking, raft building, archery, orienteering, night walks, camp fires and team building activities. They approached each task with enthusiasm, determination and resilience. I was particularly pleased to hear the children’s experiences when they returned. Here are a few quotes from the children.
“I really enjoyed the dock jump at TYM. I also really liked the low ropes because we had to work together and you had to go back to get a friend which was really fun. At High Ashurst, we did mountain biking and we got to go out on the road and some people even learnt how to ride a bike.”
Phoebe
“I loved how all the instructors were really inspiring and how they wanted you to try new things.”
Charlotte M
“The thing I loved the most about the residential is the high ropes and the cabins! It was definitely the highlight as well as the paddle boarding and tents at TYM! The food there was brilliant!”

Surrey County Council (SCC) has announced its plan to discontinue its Twelve 15 Schools Catering Service at the end of the 2025/2026 academic year. This means that from the start of the new school year in September 2026, we will be transitioning to a new catering supplier.
Please be assured that we are already working to identify a suitable new partner to provide high-quality, nutritious school meals. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and seamless transition with no disruption to our lunchtime service. We will use the summer break of 2026 to complete this changeover.
We will keep you informed of our progress and provide more information as our plans are confirmed.
Looking ahead at next year’s admission to secondary school for 2026/27, please find attached two information leaflets regarding upcoming open evenings for Carrington School and Merstham Park School.
I will be hosting a coffee morning in the last week of this half term and very much look forward to seeing many of you there. The date will be confirmed in the next newsletter.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead.
