North Leamington School are delighted to celebrate with Year 13 students as they achieved truly outstanding A Level and BTEC results!

This year’s impressive results include an overall pass rate of 99% whilst, 65% of all A Level grades achieved were A*-B.

Mike Lowdell (Headteacher) paid testimony to all involved: "Whatever the destination, we know that the concerted efforts of all will mean that these students will be well-equipped to be a success in their next step. As always we are so proud of our students' efforts, we wish them all the luck in their future endeavours.

NLS will have representation at both Oxford and Cambridge universities in 2025 and the whole community extends its congratulations to Luke and Oliver! A number of students are taking up prestigious apprenticeships with local and national employers while the vast majority of students have successfully secured their preferred university choices. NLS students are set to embark on a diverse range of degree courses in subjects as varied as Psychology, Midwifery, Textile Design, History, Biomedical Science, Maths, Law, Philosophy, Zoology. All of this and more will be undertaken at more local organisations (e.g. Warwick, Coventry) or more further afield (e.g. Cardiff, Durham, Exeter, York).

On Monday 7 July we celebrated our Year 11 students. 

The Year 11 Celebration Day started 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 Leavers assembly included: inspirational words and messages from teachers, reflected on their journey, recognitions for achievements and contributions to school life along with student and teacher awards.

We were delighted to celebrate with our wonderful Y13 at their prom on Monday 30 June. 

It was lovely to talk about the past few years and to look forward to the future: whether university, apprenticeships, employment or a well-earned gap year awaits. After two brief yet glorious speeches of undoubted high-quality, students and staff alike enjoyed some great food in a great setting – with so many staff as well as students there, the mood was a nice blend of relaxed yet vibrant. Students were able to access the beautiful garden and veranda on what was a very warm evening as well as the tasteful dining room with its well-packed dance floor. The moves on display from students and staff alike was testimony to what terrific relationships and teamwork exist in the NLS Sixth Form. Behaviour was impeccable and it was a real privilege to be part of such a terrific send-off.

Last week our student International Leaders were able to call our partner school in India. They had a very interesting discussion about climate change and school life both in India and in the UK.

They had planned questions in advanced that they had really considered and thought about.

It was an excellent discussion, and our student leaders were super ambassadors for the school. 

We are delighted to share the fantastic results from the recent Junior Physics Challenge our Year 10 students took part in last week. This is a prestigious national competition designed to stretch and inspire young physicists.

Forty-five students took part in this challenging event completing two rigorous online quizzes requiring both deep knowledge and the ability to think critically under pressure. They all demonstrated fantastic resilience, enthusiasm, and confidence, embracing the opportunity to challenge themselves testing their understanding of Physics in a new and exciting way.
