Weekly Letter 29.01.24

W/C 29th January 2024

This Week at NUSA

What a great half term it’s been so far – it’s been simultaneously the fastest and slowest January with lots going on but the weather feeling like it’ll never be warm ever again! We’re now at a point of there only being one more week until half term, though, already!

Some of our Sixth Form Business students have planned a Valentine’s event for Wednesday 7th February. As part of this staff and students will be given the opportunity to attend in non-uniform, ideally wearing item(s) of red or pink – we’d love students to get involved and bring £1 donation which will be collected and given to charity.  In addition, students are excited to also raise some money with a Valentine’s Day Bake Sale on the same day. Items will range from 50p - £2. As always, these days create memories for our community and expect this to be another #AmazingNUSA event! Thank you. 

SEND Drop ins

We offer a number of ‘SEND drop ins’ throughout the year for parents/carers. These are open to any parent/carer who may want to discuss their child’s SEND needs further or parents/carers who have concerns that their children may have SEND needs that are yet to be diagnosed. If you wish to book an appointment in one of the slots below, please contact reception.
