Once again, we are extremely pleased to share that our students at North Leamington School have received excellent GCSE examination results. This will set them up to move onto the next stage of their education and training, with the currency to continue with further success.  

Mike Lowdell, Headteacher “On behalf of all the staff at North Leamington, we would like to congratulate every student, for their dedication and sustained positive attitude. Our results continue to be impressive- 66% of students achieved a grade 5 or above in English and Maths with 80% at the grade 4 or above, ‘standard pass’ marker. 87% of students achieved the recommended benchmark of a grade 4 or higher in English and 82% in Maths. 

None of this can be achieved without the ongoing support from parents and carers as they continue to be so crucial, the triangulation of student, home and school is critical for success. We look forward to working with all those returning in Year 12 and equally we wish all those who are moving to college courses, apprenticeships and other institutions the best of luck in their future endeavours.

On Monday 6 July we celebrated our wonderful  Year 11 students. 

The Year 11 Celebration Day began in the morning with the opportunity for students to come together to all meet again and sign shirts before enjoying their Leavers Assembly in the theatre looking back over their time at North Leamington School.

 

 

 

Their leaver’s assembly was a chance to reflect on their time at NLS through inspirational messages from staff, a look back at their journey, and a montage of photographs capturing many memorable moments from their school years. Students were also recognised for their achievements and contributions to school life, with a range of student and staff awards presented.

 

We were delighted to celebrate with our wonderful Year 13 at their prom on  Wednesday 1 July.

England’s woeful first half performance at the World Cup initially threatened to cloud proceedings perhaps just a little! Luckily, Harry Kane saved us – and our terrifically resilient Year 13 would anyway not have let anything mar their evening.

Students from Years 9 and 12 recently returned from a highly successful and enriching educational visit to Poland which provided an invaluable  opportunity to deepen their understanding of history, culture, and heritage beyond the classroom.

The trip began in the beautiful city of Kraków, where students explored the historic Wawel Castle and Cathedral, gaining valuable insights into Poland’s rich past and national identity. A visit to the remarkable Wieliczka Salt Mines offered a fascinating glimpse into one of the country’s most treasured landmarks, showcasing centuries of craftsmanship and tradition.

A particularly significant part of the visit was the day spent at Auschwitz-Birkenau. This moving and thought-provoking experience enabled students to reflect on one of the most important chapters of modern history. Throughout the visit, our students conducted themselves with exceptional maturity, respect, and sensitivity, demonstrating a deep appreciation for the significance of the site.

   

On 30  April, fifty two Year 10 students and five members of staff set off for a three-day tour of the Battlefields of World War 1, mainly with a focus of visiting sites that were related to the medicine in the historic environment section of Paper 1 of the History GCSE.

After a very early start, our first day was spent in and around Ypres. 

Our first visit was to the Passchendaele Museum, where students were able to see artefacts from World War 1 as well as have their first experience of walking through the trenches. 

 

 

 

From here we went to Tyne Cot Cemetery, the largest British Military Cemetery in the world, with the graves of 11,956 soldiers and a memorial which honours the names of 34,888 missing soldiers. 

 

We laid a wreath here on behalf of North Leamington School to the Rainbow brothers, both of whom are also commemorated on a plaque in the courtyard at school.
