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.

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 famous characters (literary, historical, TV or film-based), we celebrated all the things our students have achieved during their time with us and all the many wonderful plans they have going forward.

We are delighted to share the success of our Year 7, and 9 football teams who both reached the District Cup Finals!

The finals took place on Wednesday 9 April and our Year 7 team hoped to follow to success of last year's Yr 7 team and bring home a trophy in their first season and year 9 hoped to repeat the success of our teams for the previous three years and win the cup again for NLS

This week, three NLS teams have played in Netball finals, with Year 8 and Year 10 winning the District Cup and District Plate against Aylesford and Kenilworth teams. Our Year 7 did fantastically well and, in a closely fought game, were runners up to King’s High.  

Year 9 students recently had an exciting Engineering Experience Day,  run for us by the Smallpeice Trust. Working in teams, students had the opportunity to explore designing and building landing craft for a potential visit to Mars. The day included three main sections - designing, testing and a presentation showing their findings. As part of this, students had to assess different conditions on different parts of Mars and decide where to most effectively place their base. Following this, they designed a landing module to successfully land their mars rover safely, modelled using a ping-pong ball and a 9V battery.
All of the teams successfully landed and worked well together to design an effective lander.

On Wednesday evening (March 26), 65 students showcased their wonderful talent and passion for dance at the annual Dance Recital.

An audience of over 200 were treated to a range of styles by students across Years 7 to 13  who are members of our Dance Club, Dance Leaders and those who study Dance.
There were a range of styles performed including Contemporary, Commercial, Jazz, Tap and Ballet from BTEC assessment work to extracurricular clubs and students’ own choreographed pieces and their dedication and passion were evident in every routine. 

All the dancers involved, along with our student photographer in Year 10 and student backstage crew, were so professional and enthusiastic during the show. 

It was fantastic to see all their hard work and creativity come to light in the performance.
