Weekly Letter 260623

Dear Parent/Carer,

This week at NUSA:

Year 10 have been brilliant with completing mock exams this week. For two weeks, they have shown dedication and grit to ensure that the mock exams are completed to the best of their ability. We can’t wait to see their results.  

On Monday, the students from our focused provision unit visited Harry Potter World. We were all super jealous but were really glad that they had such a fantastic time.

Every morning we offer all students the opportunity to have a free bagel before school. If you know that your child is a little reluctant to eat breakfast in the morning, please encourage them to pick up a free bagel so they can start their day with full tummies.

Industrial action update:

We have been notified of the intentions for further industrial action days on the 5th and 7th July.

Wednesday 5th July – closed to all pupils except Y10 and Y12.

Friday 7th July – Sports day – open to all pupils as normal. Year 10 who are completing work experience in school will work from home on this day, as will Y12.

If your child would receive free school meals and would like to take a packed lunch home on Tuesday 4th July, they will need to head in to the canteen at the end of the school day on Tuesday to collect it.

We need your voice!:

We are running our next round of parental surveys. The closure date for the survey is 21st July 2023.

This time there is opportunity for 5 people to win an Amazon or Tesco voucher worth £25. All you need to do is complete the survey and enter your email address at the end to be included in our draw!
