  • Sixth Form Update - Spring 2

    Published 07/04/25

    What was that? It was another half-term zipping by and we now find ourselves approaching the ‘business end’ of the academic year – though we of course continue to offer a rich, diverse experience for your child! I trust they have had a good one and hope that this communication finds you well.  

    As this fourth term closes and Easter approaches, Sixth Form at NLS continues to be a highly successful one populated by terrific students who really embody our core values: commitment, opportunity, respect and excellence. As this communication hopefully shows, we remain dedicated to developing well-rounded individuals. We very much value and appreciate the collaboration which exists between school and home in achieving this.

  • Year 11 Update - Spring 2

    Published 07/04/25

    As we reach the end of this eventful term, it is a great opportunity to reflect upon and celebrate the progress Year 11 students are making. Year 11 students have consistently demonstrated an outstanding attitude in preparing for their final GCSE exams. Whether through their engagement in lessons or dedication to after-school revision sessions, I am continually impressed by their maturity, resilience, and determination. With all mocks exams now complete, and the recent Year 11 Subject Evening, students are fully focused on their final GCSE assessments and exams, and will have a clear understanding of the progress they have made, as well as where they can still improve.

  • Year 10 Update - Spring 2

    Published 07/04/25

    As we reach the end of the Spring Term, I want to take a moment to express how incredibly proud I am of Year 10. This half term has been eventful, demanding, and filled with successes. From mock exams to inspiring trips, from the Race for Life event to our crucial Parents' and Revision Evenings, our students have continued to demonstrate our school's CORE ethos in every aspect of school life.

    What an amazing term this has been for Year 9!  I could not be any prouder of all our brilliant students.  There were some outstanding achievements: 86% of our Year 9 students achieved more than 100 reward points, in our second round of assessments more students met or surpassed their target grades and our intrepid Duke of Edinburgh Award cohort spent their first night under the stars on their training course!

  • Sixth Form Update - Spring 1

    Published 10/02/25

    Wow – another half-term has flown by and we find ourselves at the mid-point of the academic year already! I trust your children have had a good one and hope that this communication finds you well.  

    As this third term is drawing to a close, we are delighted to note here how our Sixth Form continues to be a highly successful one populated by terrific students who really embody our core values: commitment, opportunity, respect and excellence. All of this was manifest in the generally excellent approach seen to the Mock Exams. We are sure those very many students (a record number!) who have applied to join us in September 2025 will keep these high standards up and they can look forward to the pre-Easter Interview process - where we very much look forward to meeting with them.

    The Oxford and Cambridge interview successes of two of our excellent Year 13 students will stand out for some but hopefully the below will give an indication of the rich, diverse and highly successful Sixth Form we have here at NLS.

  • Year 11 Update - Spring 1

    Published 10/02/25

    As we continue through the academic year for our Year 11 students, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the progress Year 11 students are making. Students have shown a remarkable level of maturity and dedication towards their studies, particularly during the last round of mock exams completed during the past  two weeks. Also, the results from December’s mocks have not only demonstrated the hard work they’ve been putting in but have also allowed us to assess areas of strength and focus on where further improvements can be made as we approach the final stretch of the academic year. In a bid to provide a more realistic experience for our students, we held a Mock Results Day—designed to mimic the official results day in August. This was an important exercise, as it gave students a taste of the emotional journey they will go through later this year. Students handled it with impressive maturity and resilience, which I believe will stand them in good stead as they continue their preparations for the actual exams in the summer.

  • Year 10 Update - Spring 1

    Published 10/02/25

    As we reach the halfway point of the spring term, I am thrilled to share the incredible progress and enthusiasm that Year 10 students have shown since their return in January. The students have come back with a positive outlook and a renewed drive to succeed in every area of school life. It has been truly heartening to witness their commitment and motivation.

    One of the highlights of this term has been seeing how well the students completed their second mock RE exam this week. Mock exams give students valuable preparation for their GCSEs. The preparation has been exceptional, and the students showed a remarkable level of readiness. The revision resources provided were highly praised, and we were delighted to see such a strong turnout for the intervention sessions both before and after school. In fact, the attendance was the highest we’ve ever seen – a testament to the dedication and hard work of our Year 10s. 

    To support them during their revision, we organised a special final session with a slice of pizza for each student who attended. The turnout was fantastic and it was such a positive experience.  A pizza treat was a great way to show our appreciation and reward them for their efforts.

    This sense of dedication truly reflects our CORE ethos: Commitment, Opportunities, Respect, and Excellence. Our Year 10s are living and breathing these values every day, and it’s a privilege to see them grow and thrive as a year group.

    What a truly outstanding group of students Year 10 is! I look forward to the rest of the term and all that they will continue to achieve.

  • Year 9 Update - Spring 1

    Published 10/02/25

    As we reach the end of this busy half term, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work and dedication shown by our Year 9 students. They have engaged well with their studies and demonstrated a positive attitude throughout. 

    The majority of our Year 9 students demonstrate our CORE values every day. Their simple gestures go a long way in spreading happiness in NLS along with continuing to follow instructions and display a positive work ethic. I am so very proud of the students in Year 9. It is important to help them to feel happy at school as well as ensuring they have high aspirations. I have received a significant amount of positive feedback from staff and tutors that the vast majority of our Year 9s behave in a very mature and empathetic manner. I am hoping that they will continue to make the right decisions in the future and build / maintain positive friendships at school and in the community.

  • Year 8 Update - Spring 1

    Published 10/02/25

    Another successful half term comes to an end and we find ourselves already just over half way through the academic year. Year 8 continue to develop and demonstrate our CORE values and the simple gestures of saying ‘Hi Miss’ and ‘Have a good day Miss’ as students go about their day never ceases to increase the pride I feel in being their Year Lead.

    Our priority remains focused on students feeling happy at school, being kind to others and supporting the development of those skills that will allow them to make the best possible progress. It is with the continued support of parents and carers that students will have the very best chance for success as they continue their journey here at NLS. It was particularly great to see so many parents and carers at the recent Year 8 subject evening, providing a fantastic opportunity to liaise with subject teachers on the progress individual students are making.

  • Year 7 Update - Spring 1

    Published 07/02/25

    It is always a great pleasure to write to you all about the very many different things Year 7 have been up to, most especially on this occasion, having had the chance to see so many of you in school for Year 7 Subject Evening. It really was lovely to be able to see so many of you in person. The feedback we have received from the surveys on Subject Evening are really encouraging, and it is wonderful to hear that 100% of those parents who answered felt that their child is happy at school. We also received some really positive comments about our transition programme and how responsive we aim to be to queries, as well as hearing how much parents, carers and students alike value the range of subjects that we have on offer.  Thank you again for your attendance at the event, it continues to be a pleasure to work with you and your children.
