  • Sixth Form Induction Day

    Published 12/07/24

    Yesterday we welcomed our Year 11 Sixth Form applicants to their Induction Day here at NLS. It was fantastic to welcome so many of our year 11 students along with a large number of students from other schools new to NLS.

    Students started the day with an informative welcome assembly before engaging in three taster lessons based on the subject choices on application.  After the opportunity of having lunch in the dedicated Sixth Form café area, and to mingle with their peers, students broke into smaller groups for a Tutor Time session before a final assembly.

  • Year 13 Celebrate at Prom

    Published 05/07/24

    We were delighted to celebrate with our wonderful Year 13 students at their prom on Tuesday 2 July. 

     It was lovely to reminisce about the past few years and to look forward to all the terrific things which await them in the future.  After a (mercifully) brief set of speeches, students and staff alike enjoyed some great food in a plush setting – the mood was a perfect blend of relaxed yet vibrant. Following food, it was time to hit the dance floor or to talk the evening away.

    It was a real privilege to be part of such a terrific send-off.  Well done all and best wishes for the future.

    Mr Taylor
    Senior Assistant Headteacher, Head of Sixth Form

  • Celebrating our Year 13 students before study leave

    Published 09/05/24

    Our year 13 students celebrated their last formal day here at North Leamington School Sixth Form as they start their study leave.

    With a fancy dress theme of Past and Future, we celebrated all the things our students have achieved during their time with us and all the many wonderful plans they have going forward.

    A mid morning "soiree" in the Common Room was followed by an extended assembly celebrating achievements 'past and present' through a selection of photos, messages and student and teacher awards.

    We finished our day with ice creams and more photos at the front of school with the bonus of the sun shining for us.

    We wish all Year 13 students the very best for their exams and their future destinations – we are very proud of them all.

    Our Sixth Form ‘Christmas Cards for Care Homes’ initiative has seen over 250 handwritten cards sent to people in the locality over the last couple of weeks and they have been well-received.

    Students in the Sixth Form also joined in with the main school in the Christmas Hamper initiative: the aim being to identify a valuable cause and to fill a hamper to support throughout the Christmas period.

  • Culture Day

    Published 06/12/23

    Our Student Leaders for Diversity & Equality recently delivered their inaugural Culture Day: an opportunity to celebrate culture in general but also the specific cultural heritages of the students in our terrific Sixth Form. A key highlight was the representative dress on show and the sharing of foods from various cultural backgrounds.

    We are delighted to say that through the selling of food created by the students and from various heritages a tremendous £162.20 was raised for the BLAM UK charity – BLAM UK being an organisation supporting achievement and mental health and which was identified by the student body.
