Ltr to Parents 20Nov23

Dear Parent/Carer,

This week at NUSA:

Another great week for us at NUSA. We held our interviews this week for Head Students and the panel were absolutely blown away by the level of effort that had gone in to the presentations from students. Mr Kirkby was incredibly proud of all of the students who presented and is now in the process of making the tough decision to decide who gets the role.

Parent/carer opportunity to support your child with the lead up to exams – all parents/carers welcome:

We’re excited to announce that Elevate Education will be hosting their next parent webinar on Resilience on November 28th.


Elevate works with our students, delivering high-impact workshops on study skills, motivation, wellbeing, and exam preparation. By tuning into their webinar series, you’ll learn how you can help support your children at home by reinforcing the skills they’re learning at school. 

Sign up for the session below to learn how you can help your child to recover from a knock to their confidence. Whether that’s a disappointing grade, exam slip-up, or a less-than-perfect report.

What Parents & Carers Need to Know about The Dangers of Vaping

From National Online Safety:

In the UK, the proportion of 11 to 18-year-olds who vape doubled between 2020 and 2022. That figure has continued to rise – a worrying trend that’s not exactly been countered by frequent portrayals of vaping as cool and fashionable on social media platforms.

Many young vapers simply aren’t aware of the habit’s potential pitfalls – but with risks including unregulated products, toxic ingredients and future nicotine addiction, there’s plenty for trusted adults to help children understand.

Click here to read the What Parents & Carers Need to Know about The Dangers of Vaping guide, which brings you lots of essential info.

Have a wonderful weekend.
