Letter to All Parents Return to School

Dear Parent/Carer

I hope you have had a well-rested summer break and that your children are excited to return to NUSA. We have lots of fun things in store this academic year and staff have been planning for the year ahead over the past few days.

You may have seen information in the news about schools which have a specific type of concrete in their roof and the risk this could potentially pose. The good news is that NUSA is not impacted by this as we have a relatively new building so we will be open as normal.

Plans for return:

We will return on a staggered start for all of our pupils to ensure that they can be welcomed back fully and given the time they need to settle in.

Return times are as follows:

Monday 4th September (11 and 7 only)

Year 7 - 8.40am

Year 11 - 9.30am

Tuesday 5th September:

Year 10 - 8.40am

Year 9 - 9.00am

Year 8 - 9.30am

School day times can be found by clicking here.

Uniform for return:

Our uniform expectations remain the same.

A few things to remember:

Lots of shops advertise trainers as school shoes. They are not. Please don’t get caught out by buying a really expensive pair of trainers which your child will not be able to wear in school. Sports brands do not make school shoes so please avoid these.

We have a new school skirt which is available to order online and this should be the only skirt that is worn in school from September 2023 onwards.

Ensure your child brings a bag and equipment every day. This will ensure they are ready to learn.

We are looking forward to welcoming your children back.
