High Street, Nettlebed, Henley on Thames, Oxon, RG9 5DA Nettlebed strives to be a place in which all children are nurtured within a common understanding of our values and ethos. All members of our community are encouraged to embrace our diamond rules to demonstrate the very best standards of behaviour, moral purpose and integrity as well as practice the School's 8 values.
At Nettlebed Community School, we aim to prepare our children for their futures by being confident and independent thinkers. We strive to foster a love of learning and a can do attitude which enables children to challenge themselves and take risks.
In order to make this vision a reality, Nettlebed seeks to have: - a team of teachers, leaders and governors who challenge the status quo to deliver quality first teaching and learning experiences for our pupils which promote high standards and excellent outcomes for all - pupils who are secure in their understanding of everyone's rights and responsibilities and who have positive self- esteem and inner confidence - an inspiring and exciting curriculum which links to the local and wider world embracing diversity and difference
