The Governing Body of Nettlebed Community School is seeking new members from within the community to assist us in driving our amazing school forward. We want someone who cares about our amazing village and the people within it. School governors act as the executive board for a school, working alongside the Head Teacher to develop the school vision and strategy for continuous improvement. You will gain valuable experience, as well as the opportunity to shape the school experience.
The Governing Body also supports the school in a range of activities including school trips, performances and within the classroom. All you need to do is volunteer your time; full training will be offered to support you in your new role. Unfortunately, parents who have children at the school are unable to apply as all parent governor positions are already taken.If this sounds of interest we would be delighted to hear from you, please contact me via email on chairofgovernors@nettlebed.oxon.sch.ukRegards

SODC will re-introduce parking charges in our car parks. This follows the government’s announcement that outdoor markets and car showrooms are to re-open on 1 June and non-essential retail on 15 June.
This move will help to improve the availability of parking spaces as people start to visit local shops again and encourage them to consider using more sustainable travel methods when visiting our town centres.
Car parks will operate as normal, so users must display a ticket, including the free charging periods. Normal rates will apply.
We will also start issuing new permits and re-issuing permits to anyone who’s permit would’ve expired during the lockdown.
NHS staff and care workers who display a national COVID-19 parking pass can continue to park for free – to claim a pass, they need to email carparks.southandvale.uk@sabagroup.com, with proof of their employment
