Head Teacher’s Welcome

A heartfelt welcome to Nether Stowe School. As Head Teacher, it is both a privilege and a joy to lead such a vibrant, caring, and ambitious community where everyone is encouraged to grow, thrive, and achieve their very best. Every day, I am inspired by the enthusiasm, creativity, and determination of our students, and I feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside such talented staff and supportive families who share our vision.

At the heart of our school is a powerful vision that guides everything we do: Be Respectful. Be Ambitious. Be Resilient. These values are not just words; they are the principles that shape our everyday experiences, creating a welcoming, nurturing, and high-achieving school where everyone is valued and inspired.

We are deeply committed to providing a safe, happy, and inclusive environment where everyone feels respected, supported, and encouraged to be their very best. More than that, we believe in developing the whole child – academically, socially, and emotionally – helping our young people grow into confident, compassionate, and resilient individuals ready to make a positive difference in the world.

Our three school rules are a natural reflection of our core values:

  • Be Respectful by showing kindness, empathy, and care for others, while taking pride in our school and community.
  • Be Ambitious by approaching every learning opportunity with enthusiasm, dedication, and a desire to excel.
  • Be Resilient by embracing challenges, persevering through setbacks, and always striving to do the right thing.

What I love most about Nether Stowe School is the genuine sense of community. Our students’ achievements, kindness, and determination continually inspire me, and I am so proud of the way they support and encourage one another to succeed. Working alongside our exceptional staff, who share an unwavering commitment to nurturing each child’s potential, is truly the most rewarding aspect of my role.

We know that education is about far more than academic success; it’s about developing well-rounded individuals with the confidence, character, and skills to thrive and contribute positively to society. And that’s why we place such importance on building strong partnerships with parents and the wider community. By working together, we can empower every child to achieve their dreams, celebrate their achievements, and feel a true sense of belonging and pride in who they are.

I warmly invite you to explore our website and discover all that Nether Stowe School has to offer. Whether you are a prospective parent, a current family, or a visitor, I hope you find the information helpful, welcoming, and inspiring.

Together, let’s continue to build a school where everyone feels proud to belong and empowered to succeed.

With my very best wishes,


Ms K Jones
