Overdue library books. Dear Parent/carer, Reminders have been sent out to students who have overdue library books. At present we have over 400 books that are overdue and despite several previous reminders through form time and library lessons students are unfortunately still 'forgetting' to return their books. With the amount of books overdue it has impacted on providing a poor service to your children where popular books are not available to borrow. With this in mind I am requesting your help and support in encouraging your child to return their books on time. All overdue books MUST be returned by this Friday 4th November- any that are still overdue by more than four weeks will have a charge of £6.50 placed on your Parent Pay account which will remain in place until either the book is returned or charge has been paid to replace the missing book. Your child may also find that they will not be able to borrow a book from the school library until the book is returned which may hinder their progress and pleasure of reading. Students are allowed to borrow up to three books for a loan period of two weeks and can be renewed after this period should the need arise. Any books that are lost or damaged must be replaced. Thank you in advance for your help in returning our book shelves to their full glory providing a wide and varied collection of fantastic fiction and interesting non-fiction books. Kind Regards Mrs L. Gill Librarian

Parents might agree that teenagers are often 'in their own little bubble', however last week this was certainly true as @4WardSports came to give our Year 11 some light relief from revision in P.E. with Mr Barron.

Neatherd High, a @SAFoodForLife Gold school, celebrates #RoastDinnerDay with members of the Dereham Community. Every year on National Roast Dinner Day Neatherd High School joins in with kitchen chef Graeme Baker and team cooking up a feast of different roasts with all the trimmings. This event is not only popular with the pupils and staff at Neatherd, but the school also invites members of the local community along to join in with the event. Pupils from Toftwood Infant and Toftwood Junior School were tucking into their dinners together with residents from local care homes. Old and young enjoyed their meals, chatting away over their roast potatoes. “We are very proud of our Food For Life Gold status”, says Stewart Anderson, Neatherd’s Environment and Sustainability Coordinator, “and we like to boost it further by involving the whole community with it and getting them involved with cooking and eating healthy food.”
