One of our Year 8 students, Kitty, entered a 'Design a monument to 2022' competition run by Goldsmith's Centre for Contemporary Art. Kitty's fantastic artwork has now been selected as a finalist for a prestigious exhibition at Goldsmiths in London. This is a fantastic achievement- well done! Up to 50 entries chosen will be presented in a publication alongside their forthcoming Spring exhibition, Testament. This exhibition will show proposals for monuments by 50 international artists who are all exploring questions around history, memory and identity. 

Year 7 trip to Whitemoor Lakes Adventure Centre in Lichfield, Staffordshire

1-3 April 2022

Outdoor adventure school residential trips are an excellent way to enhance learning and build upon foundations learnt in the classroom. They also allow young people to develop their skillset and try a range of exciting activities, such as kayaking, climbing and problem-solving. Overcoming new challenges and working collectively as a team can help improve students’ relationships with their peers and foster better relations with teaching staff. Spending time away from home in an unfamiliar environment can bolster self-confidence and help instil problem-solving skills and a sense of independence.  

Students will take part in a range of activities, including open canoeing, raft building, zip wire and archery plus evening events. These activities are led by Whitemoor’s own team of qualified instructors. Each activity has its own risk assessment. Our aim is for the students to have fun, learn new skills, become more motivated as individuals, to take part in new and enriching experiences, discover more about themselves and their capabilities and to learn to support value and celebrate each other’s success.   

In order to run the trip, we will require a minimum of 120 students to attend.

Our year 7 and 8 students were asked to compete in the Castle Ward Art Competition for the charity “Kissing it better”. There were hundreds handed in.  We are so proud of our students' artwork and the organisers were blown away with so many entries.

Eleven NLS Art Students in years 7 and 8 were announced as winners, receiving tickets to Warwick Castle and a special celebration event on Monday 20 December.  Congratulations to those students who will have received a letter and email invitation from our charity Kissing it better.

The winning entries will be on display at Warwick Castle and in local hospital wards. The feedback from doctors, nurses and patients is so complimentary.  Well done to all of you who took part!

On Friday 12 November, 21 brave staff volunteers overcame their nerves to perform in front of over 300 students at North Leamington School as part of ‘NLS does the X Factor’. The event was to raise money for Children in Need, a charity the school has supported through similar events for 18 years.

Staff put on a range of acts including Amy Winehouse, Abba, Bruno Mars and more and each act was judged by a small team of experts (Student Leaders) based on their performance, stage presence, costumes and crowd interaction.

Overall, the event raised £786.21, which is a fantastic amount for the charity.

Debby Hill, Performance Faculty Leader at North Leamington School said of the occasion:

“It was a delight to see so many staff volunteer to take part in this event to raise money for Children in Need. The students loved seeing their teachers and other school staff let their hair down to sing and dance and more often than not, make a fool of themselves! We are always proud to support Children in Need and this year felt even more special after a year of not being able to have face-to-face events like this.”
