W/C 26th February

This Week at NUSA

Happy Friday!  I hope that this week has been a good one.  As a school, we are close to exam time for Year 11s and our Sixth Form, and there is a lot of work taking place by staff to support students in the run up to their exams.  Collectively, staff are forensically reviewing student progress data from Mocks and are looking at where we can maximize the last few weeks before their exams.  As such, if your child has been targeted for intervention then please support them with attending this – the feedback from Year 11s this week about the intervention sessions has been superb so far.

Student Uniform Feedback

As mentioned last week, we’re still focusing on some key areas over the coming weeks.  One of these is on uniform.  As such, please  click this link https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=LuLr9FO180SIVj4NhJCOuPvZAbTNr2BLsUEpxJErqpxUMkNLVUxGTDFERldYMVBIVVRIVk1CUUhEWS4u to provide us valuable feedback on school uniform as we look to develop this as a school:

Student Health

Over the last week schools have been reporting an increase in the prevalence of headlice.  Please be vigilant to this and treat this if you suspect that your child may have these, as these can be passed from child to child.  In the case that your child does have headlice, please do send them in to school as soon as they have been treated – their attendance is vitally important.

SEND Drop ins 

We offer a number of ‘SEND drop ins’ throughout the year for parents/carer’s. These are open to any parent/carer who may want to discuss their child’s SEND needs further or parents/carer’s 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.

Safeguarding Corner – Keeping young people safe on the railways


‘The tragic death of Harrison in 2017, when he was in Year 7 at Guilsborough Academy, brought home to our community the importance of teaching our children about safety on the railways. Schools play a vital role in keeping our children safe.’ - Simon Frazer, Principal at Guilsborough Academy.

Over 20 million students, parents and teachers from across the UK have already watched these videos which has led to a significant decrease in the number of fatalities and injuries in their area through watching the safety videos. Please find the link below to watch the video, in which the importance of being safe on rail roads is explained.

Live Parent Webinar: How You Can Help Prepare Your Child for Exams

Tuesday 5th March 6:00-7:00pm 

Exam season might be almost upon us, but there’s still plenty of time to equip students with those all-important practical tips and tricks for maximising marks.  

Getting teachers and parents on the same page when it comes to exam preparation is a great way to do just that – and that’s what our upcoming live webinar aims to do.  

By walking parents through the work their child should be prioritising during this period, our exam preparation webinar is designed to prevent ineffective, last-minute revision.  

Parents who attended our last webinar on this topic loved it and shared with us why they found it so useful:  

‘Very informative. Excellent ideas on how to study effectively leading up to exams and new ideas I can share with my Year 12 Child. Great structured approach.’ 

‘Great tips to help our child who is navigating through the daunting time of prepping for exam times. Great Q&A session.’ 

To make it easy to share the event on your social media or website, I’ve included all the resources you need below.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mr. Turton
