Dear Parents/Carers,

At NUSA this week:

Another great week for us at NUSA this week. Lots of our students have worked hard to complete their reading assessments this week and we look forward to seeing the results. Classes are starting to have assessments now ready for AAA2 reports to be sent home. We have also held some external ‘real’ exams this week.

I’d like to take the opportunity to remind you of the information that is available on our new website -www.nusa.org.uk

The website contains all of the previous weekly letters, term dates, information on free school meals, along with information on the curriculum in each subject area. We know that getting through to a busy reception can often be tricky, so please look to the website first as the answer you need may be found there.

Coming up at NUSA:

We have spent this week conducting reading assessments for all students and will do the same again next week. We will then inform you of your child’s reading age.

Over the next few weeks, some Year 11 students have been invited for interview at NUSA 6th Form. They should be checking their email inbox for notification of their interview times and dates.
