  • Race for Life Friday 26 September

    Published 23/09/25

    On Friday 26 September 2025, the whole school came together to take part in our annual Race for Life charity event in support of Cancer Research. In the lead-up to the day, tutor time sessions helped students learn more about cancer, its treatments, and the importance of fundraising in the fight against it.

    The event itself was a brilliant showcase of community spirit. Students from Years 7–13 walked or ran laps around the school fields, aiming to complete as many circuits as possible within the hour. Everyone joined in the spirit of the occasion by wearing pink—whether it was socks, headbands, tutus or even face paint—creating a vibrant and uplifting atmosphere. Staff lined the course to cheer students on, with many also running alongside them.

    Donations were collected both through sponsorships and individual contributions, with some students managing to complete more than five laps. The enthusiasm, energy and determination on display were inspiring, and it was fantastic to see the whole school working together towards such an important cause.

    We are delighted to announce that, thanks to the generosity of our students, staff and wider community, we raised an incredible £2647 for Cancer Research. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and supported this event—you truly made a difference!

  • VIBE Drama Club presents A Midsummer Night’s Dream

    On Tuesday 1 July, VIBE Drama Club took to the stage with their vibrant and imaginative adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare. The performance was full of mayhem, mischief, and magic, with students working collaboratively to create a lively and engaging ensemble piece under the direction of Mrs Debby Hill.

  • Year 13 Celebrate at their Prom

    Published 01/07/25

    We were delighted to celebrate with our wonderful Y13 at their prom on Monday 30 June. 

    It was lovely to talk about the past few years and to look forward to the future: whether university, apprenticeships, employment or a well-earned gap year awaits. After two brief yet glorious speeches of undoubted high-quality, students and staff alike enjoyed some great food in a great setting – with so many staff as well as students there, the mood was a nice blend of relaxed yet vibrant. Students were able to access the beautiful garden and veranda on what was a very warm evening as well as the tasteful dining room with its well-packed dance floor. The moves on display from students and staff alike was testimony to what terrific relationships and teamwork exist in the NLS Sixth Form. Behaviour was impeccable and it was a real privilege to be part of such a terrific send-off.
