Happy birthday Joshua! 🎉🎉🎉🎉Look at that cake!!!!! Two birthdays at Nethercott this week!

Wednesday afternoon fun on the farm! 🐐🐄🐓🐴🌟 As it’s Nethercott’s 50 years of hosting ‘Farms for City Children’, Michael Morpurgo has donated a book for every child who visits Nethercott Farm this year! The children will choose one and bring it home with them! How great is that? We also sang Happy Birthday over the phone, to Micheal’s wife, Claire, as it was her birthday today! Plus, we pass Michael’s home and writing studio on the tractor ride to Bridgetown! War Horse is set in the neighbouring village of Iddesleigh, which we will walk to on Friday and Farm Boy is set here at Nethercott House! If you have the chance to read these two Michael Morpurgo books - please do! We can now really see why he loves writing about animals! 📚📖📚📖

Hello and welcome to our new EYFS families for September 2026! 👋👋👋 We will be in touch very shortly with our Induction Programme Dates and Events for the summer term. We can’t wait for you to start with us! Welcome to the Widey Court family! 💚🌟

On Friday April 24th, our school community will come together to recognise and support military families by taking part in Wear Purple for Military Families 💜. This special day is a chance for us to show our appreciation for the strength, resilience, and sacrifices made by children and families connected to the armed forces. Military life can bring unique challenges, including frequent moves, time apart from loved ones, and adapting to new schools and communities. By wearing purple—a colour that represents all branches of the military—we stand in solidarity with our military families. We encourage all students and staff to join in by wearing 'something' purple on the day alongside our school uniform. Whether it’s a jumper, ribbon, socks, or accessories, every splash of purple helps send a powerful message: you are seen, valued, and supported. 💜

Year 4 were so lucky to meet naturalist, explorer and TV presenter, Steve Backshall, at the Life Centre today whilst completing their swimming lessons! A little star struck! 🌟🌟🌟What a true star for stopping and talking to the children!
