  • Year 7 Update - Autumn 1

    Published 25/10/23

    Year 7 have made a wonderful start to North Leamington School.  Students have made the challenging transition into secondary school life really well and are now fully integrated into our school community. It was lovely to see so many parents/carers that were able to join us for the Year 7 Information Evening on Monday 16 October. Answers to a few FAQS that came through the questionnaire were sent out last Friday and I hope are useful.

  • Year 10 Update - Autumn 1

    Published 25/10/23

    Year 10s return to school has been brilliant. The Year 10 team are really pleased that the majority of students are wearing their uniform to a high standard, have a positive attitude towards their learning and are engaged in their KS4 options, particularly their RE GCSE and BTEC options where they will be sitting mock exams this year before terminal exams in the Summer. The students have now sat their first RE mock exam and we were really pleased with their attitude during this. Students were well-prepared prior to the exam and it was fantastic to hear their positive responses on Wednesday following on from this.

  • Year 11 Update - Autumn 1

    Published 25/10/23

    We are continually delighted with how Year 11 have progressed this half term. The year ahead will be an extremely important one for students as ultimately their efforts will enable them to build upon the progress made in the last 2 years. With the GCSE RE exam complete, student’s attention turns to their other GCSE and BTEC subjects. A huge well done for completing their first core mock window this past week.

    It’s been a wonderful, fast-paced opening term and we are really proud of how our students have made their respective transitions in to Year 12 and Year 13. We have had 135 students join us in the new cohort and we are delighted to welcome those new to North Leamington from various other schools, those who stayed with us from Year 11 and perhaps especially those students who returned to us after initially trialling other organisations.

    Year 9 is an important and exciting year for students and we have very high expectations of them.

We encourage our students to work hard towards their future goals and think about how they are going to be successful in achieving them.

  • Year 8 Update - Autumn 1

    Published 25/10/23

    As we reach the end of the first half term I would like to commend all of Year 8 for the growing maturity I am seeing from them in all aspects of school life. No longer being the youngest students in school is a great opportunity to step up and act as role models to our new Year 7 students and I am really proud of the progress displayed by the year group as a whole.

  • PE

    Students have enjoyed a wide range of sports during this term in lessons and through the extra curricular programme with many opportunities to represent NLS in competitions. 
    Our core PE curriculum has included rounders, cricket, tennis, athletics and softball and through our extra-curricular opportunities students have been able to participate in these sports and additionally volleyball, tennis and cheerleading.  We have enjoyed fixtures in athletics, tennis and cricket this half term also. We would like to thank all the students who have participated in our extra-curricular programme throughout the year and say well done to those that have represented the school in fixtures against other local schools, contributing to the fantastic array of successes students have enjoyed.

  • Year 10 Update - Summer 2

    Published 19/07/23

    As we approach the end of an incredibly full and demanding year, it is a great opportunity to reflect and to celebrate the accomplishments of Year 10 students. This year students have been provided a number of opportunities to enrich their school studies with a number of subject-specific trips, music and dance performances as well as, potentially, taking part in their final Sports Day here at NLS. The experience students have also gained preparing and sitting their RE GCSE and Progression exams recently will stand them in good stead as they prepare for the terminal exams next academic year. It has been a pleasure to observe and hear how students have displayed superb levels of maturity, determination and perseverance throughout this year, which has allowed them to progress not just academically but personally too.

    It is hard to believe that nearly a year has passed by already since Year 7 students first came through the door in September to begin their NLS journey with us. It really has been a fantastic year with so many positive achievements to celebrate both in and out of the classroom. Students should be so proud of the progress they have made and the way they have matured through the year.
