There is currently a petition re school funding in the school office which, after Tuesday next week, John Howell will be taking to Parliament.
It would be great to get as many signatures as possible from Nettlebed so please think about calling in to the office to sign on the dotted line and hopefully get a little more funding coming to our school.
Thanks everyone.>>
