What a term it has been. The past 10 weeks have been busy yet exciting and included the Year 9 Revision Evening, Parents Evening, Options, a CIAEG event, College Quiz and Sport Activities, Rewards Assembly and Celebration Event and the launch of three trips.
It is important to recognise that we have reached a milestone in our journey at NLS. Students have spent a significant amount of time contemplating which subjects they would like to choose as part of the options process. Ms Foy, Tutors and the Data Team have worked arduously to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible.
Students have had the opportunity to enjoy taster sessions in Business Studies and Health and Social Care, along with information regarding Travel & Tourism in Geography lessons, to provide an insight into the curriculum, structure and expectations for each of these subjects.
It is always a good time for students to reflect on what has gone well and what they would like to improve on further in Year 9 as they move on to study their GCSEs. Students have been provided with opportunities to complete a series of activities in tutor time centred around their recent data report, identifying what they need to do in order to raise their attainment and make positive steps in demonstrating those CORE values.
