What a wonderful month we have had at Everton Primary School!

After our visit from Steel (the Gladiator from the BBC TV show) regarding mental and physical health and fitness, we were absolutely delighted to receive a follow up email from him… Steel has visited over 400 schools as part of his ‘Zactiv Initiative’ with school aged children and he has PERSONALLY CHOSEN Everton Primary School as the one that he wants to invite to watch Gladiators live at Sheffield Arena! Therefore, all children of Everton Primary School have been invited to watch the 27th July 2026 recording of the next series as Steel's personal guests! It is a massive compliment to all children and adults to be chosen to represent him and lovely to hear that he’d love to send his daughter to a school like ours, as well how brilliantly behaved and engaged our children were during his visit.

In other news, our School Council have been incredibly busy this month. Firstly, they visited the Mansfield Veolia Materials Recovery Facility. There the School Council children learned all about how recycling is sorted and processed and gained a real insight into the importance of reducing waste and looking after our environment. Thank you to the team at Mansfield Veolia for such an informative and engaging visit. The School Council are now going to feedback what they have learned about ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover’ to the rest of the school in an assembly.

Not stopping there, the School Council also visited County Hall in Nottingham where they hand-delivered Class 2’s letters regarding our need for a school hall to Councillor Mick Barton after an invite from our local Councillor Mike Robertson. The School Council personally discussed our need for a school hall with Cllr. Barton at the round table, enjoyed a fun quiz and tour of County Hall itself, held our latest School Council Meeting in the debating chamber before meeting Chair of the County Council, Cllr. Chris Adegoke. 

Finally, we must say a huge ‘well done’ to our School Choir who performed at the Sing Out Concert at Doncaster Dome - they were all fabulous. Thank you to Miss Spencer for putting it all together and to the parents and carers who attended and supported.

As you can see, Everton Primary School is a fantastic school which gives opportunities for a wide range of activities and positive experiences. As a small school it is imperative that we fill our school to continue to be able give these wonderful opportunities to the children of Everton and the surrounding villages. Therefore, if you, or anyone you know, needs a school place then we currently have spaces in Nursery, Reception and Year 1 that need to be filled. If you would like to arrange a school visit or ask any questions about school admission, then please feel free to call or email school on 01777817350 or office@everton.notts.sch.uk

Best wishes,
